Hampton Roads residents need to wake up to the specter of Dominion Energy’s plans for building the 600-mile-long Atlantic Coast Pipeline.

The Norfolk City Council will vote Tuesday on a bid by ACP LLC to buy an easement that will allow the company to build a fracked-gas-carrying pipeline underneath two reservoirs in Suffolk. The reservoir holds Norfolk’s tap water.

If we need energy for business expansion, let’s create jobs by investing in clean sources. Fossil fuel use and the increased flooding we are dealing with are connected. The fracking process emits huge amounts of greenhouse, heat-trapping gases. All gas pipelines leak.
