Abstract
A key driver for investment in natural gas infrastructure is market demand, and as data shows, demand continues to increase across the United States (see Figure 1). To meet this demand in part, developers are proposing new inter‐ and intrastate pipeline projects. In recent years, however, there has been strong opposition to new pipeline proposals, which has resulted in their delay or complete abandonment. Opponents to pipeline development are concerned that as a fossil fuel, continued and greater use of natural gas will further contribute to the increasing impacts of climate change. There are also concerns related to siting of proposed pipelines—namely, environmental impacts from construction activities or potential releases. Yet decisions on natural gas availability, infrastructure development, and use should not be made through a single‐lens view.
