APCA is proud to be part of the Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future and salute President Weaver for clearly articulating the beliefs of our members.

We need to be able to get it to our homes, our factories and our communities."
.The employees of APCA members speak eloquently about what natural gas means to the future of our country and about the benefits that a career in pipeline construction brings to them and their families.
"You know without jobs like this, the economy would suffer. This is what moves me and my family forward. I depend on this job a lot--all of us do," Sandy Hendrix, Site Safety Coordinator, Castle, says.
.Natural Allies is a coalition of interested stakeholders, including APCA, that recognize the vital role natural gas and its infrastructure must play in the energy mix.
