Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future Council members Mary Landrieu and Terry McAuliffe are making the case for an "all of the above" energy strategy that strengthens American energy security and helps deliver affordable, reliable power
across the country.

In their recent op-ed, they argue the challenge facing the U.S. isn't a lack of natural gas supply. It's the infrastructure needed to deliver energy where Americans need it most.

They also point out that some of the regions facing the biggest energy price spikes are the same places that spent years blocking new energy infrastructure projects.

For the pipeline industry and the workers helping build America's energy future, the message is clear: infrastructure matters.

A natural gas pipeline project took a major step forward recently, after a federal appeals court ruling in late April denied efforts to delay construction.

The project would extend a pipeline in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, more than 30 miles into North Carolina.

As E&E News recently reported, the “4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued two brief, nearly identical orders stating it would not freeze construction” as litigation continues.

As energy demand grows, projects like this are moving forward to expand infrastructure capacity.

Both domestically and globally, gas demand is accelerating as it fuels power generation and expanding LNG exports. The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) 2026 outlook makes the trajectory clear: meeting rising power demand requires more dispatchable generation and more natural gas.
