WASHINGTON, D.C. –  The Empowerment Alliance today issued the following statement applauding the United States Supreme Court’s decision to allow the Atlantic Coast Pipeline to proceed:

“The Supreme Court’s decision today to reject the challenge to the Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s federally granted permit is a win for the rule of law and win for Americans who want clean, low-cost, domestic natural gas. Natural gas is a major driver of a 21st century economy in which America will be energy independent; the Court’s decision today takes us one step closer to that reality.” – The Empowerment Alliance Spokesman Ian Prior
