From the plains of the Dakotas to the woods of Pennsylvania, environmental activists have an extreme strategy, funded by billionaires. Their goal is not to fix any flaws, but to shut down all new pipelines. This threatens the safe delivery of natural gas to heat our homes, schools, and hospitals, and the gasoline used to drive us to work and pick up our kids from school.

To create an illusion of grassroots support, activists hide behind local-sounding “nonprofits.” But a centrally coordinated group gives them tens of millions of dollars, plus synchronized communication, public relations, and litigation strategy. The result is a guerrilla warfare strategy, as vigilantes pop up in unexpected places, deliberately blocking America’s long-awaited goal of energy independence.
