WASHINGTON DC (10/22/24) – Today, the American Energy Alliance launched a new initiative, the Pipeline Protection Project, to hold green activist groups accountable for their efforts to stop the building of new pipelines and shine a spotlight on the tactics deployed by many of these pressure groups – including excusing violence and vandalism under the banner of free speech – that place affordable and reliable energy at risk.
AEA President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement:
“Our nation’s energy infrastructure is critical to ensuring reliable and affordable energy for all Americans. For too long, many radical activist groups have gotten away with destructive and sometimes illegal actions that jeopardize the safety of workers, communities, and the environment they claim to protect. The effort to stop the important and necessary work of building out our energy infrastructure, especially pipelines, impacts all of us.
Affordable and reliable energy heats our homes, powers our businesses, and fuels our economy. We stand firm in our commitment to promoting energy security for all Americans and to exposing these groups for the misinformation, destruction of property, violence, and other misdeeds they perform in their pursuit of stopping new energy projects. Enough is enough. These groups must be held accountable for their efforts to compromise our energy security.”
