Find out about our Repairing America’s Aging Pipelines (RECAP) Campaign
Repairing aging natural gas distribution pipelines has the potential to create and support quality, family-sustaining jobs and drive billions in investment. Accelerating the repair and replacement of this network can also address the urgent threat of climate change.
