*UPDATE: At the time of the original airing of this episode, FERC had not yet granted final permits for the pipelines. As of Oct 13, 2017, both MVP and ACP have been granted federal permits by FERC. 

In the pilot episode, we present the question that landowners along the routes of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline and Mountain Valley Pipeline have been facing every day for nearly three years: are these pipelines really a "done deal?" How are residents fighting against them? Can they win? We trace the beginning of the current pipeline struggles to central and southwestern Virginia, uncovering connections between the MVP and the ACP. We look back to the early 2000s, when Dominion lost the proposed Greenbrier Pipeline -- an almost identical pipeline to the currently proposed MVP. Organizer Mara Robbins tells how Floyd County was able to get the MVP re-routed away from their county in the fall of 2014. Also on this episode are Sharon Ponton, Ernie Reed, Connie Brennan, Carolyn Reilly, and Mike Carter. Music by Restroy and Lobo Marino. Original Air Date: 7/21/17
