Compressor Station 165 in Pittsylvania is key to stopping MVP Southgate and all other pipelines proposed in VA. Why? Because it is 'this' compressor station essential to Southgate, VRP, CEC, and Southside Reliability Project in central VA. Without CS 165 none of these projects will work. It is also the weakest link because VADEQ has already denied a permit based on EJ deficiencies that continue to exist in the same location.
Environmental effects of industry on environment will need to be reviewed and rethought in the coming years. For example, it is agreed that fossil fuels will need to be phased out in coming decades.. same thing for PFAS.
This was a great presentation by Mr. Allgyer!
It all sounds like a future ready-made disaster the headlines.
5 needs to take a 90 cc motorcycle engine and invent a small car that doesn't use a lot of gasoline but still as effective as a regular car this will save lots of money it'll prevent pollution and it'll keep us from burning up the natural resources a 90 cc motorcycle engine is plenty of power to get you where you're going and it's very good on gas so what's the problem inventing a small caliber vehicle
Thanks for posting! Many important fights coming.
Where has this person been my whole life smh. 😪

The power and authenticity of these testimonies gives me great hope for the future. The people will find a way forward. I want to thank every speaker for your remarkable courage and clarity in speaking truth to power. 💙
Thank you Roberta Kellam! You are a hero in my book. I was at the State Water Control Board in December of 2017 when Nissa Dean and you voted NO to issuing the DEQ SWCB water permit to the MVP and I have greatly admired you both ever since. There is no reasonable assurance that the MVP pipeline hasn’t harmed, or won't continue to harm, our local water quality.
So beautiful!
Many blessings to all water tree and air protectors
