Atlantic Coast Pipeline Canceled in Major Win for Land Defenders, Environmentalists
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In environmental news, Duke Energy and Dominion Energy have canceled
plans to build the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, in a major victory for
Indigenous and environmental activists who have opposed the project
since it was announced in 2014. The 600-mile pipeline would have carried
fracked gas from West Virginia to North Carolina, passing under the
Appalachian Trail in Virginia's George Washington National Forest.
