Transco's expansion of two compressor stations in North Carolina could lead to over 935,000 tons of annual greenhouse gas emissions and increase air pollution by 350%. The project, part of the Southeast Supply Enhancement Project, aims to boost horsepower at stations in Lexington and Mooresville, affecting communities by raising levels of harmful pollutants. Methane leaks and venting could worsen climate impact. Environmental advocates are urging local officials to oppose these changes, while public comment on air permit applications is pending.
