D.C. utility company Washington Gas wants to continue replacing hundreds of miles worth of underground gas pipes over the next 30 years. Washington Gas says this plan, called PROJECTpipes, will reduce dangerous gas leaks and the methane emissions that sprout from them. But local council members, climate advocates and District agencies have questioned the effectiveness of this project, whose end date is nearly a decade after the city is supposed to be nearly fossil fuel free. Today’s episode will cover recent developments with PROJECTpipes and feature an interview with Tom Holen, a program manager at the London-based think tank InfluenceMap, which studies the advocacy strategies of oil and gas companies such as AltaGas Ltd., a Canadian utility that bought Washington Gas in 2017.
