Joe Manchin unloads on climate activists after major natural gas pipeline suffers another setback
The 303-mile proposed pipeline cannot restart construction until West Virginia reconsiders a permit to build through the state’s streams and wetlands after past water contamination violations, the Richmond, Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled.
“It is infuriating to see the same 4th Circuit Court panel deal yet another setback for the Mountain Valley Pipeline project and once again side with activists who seem hell-bent on killing any fossil energy that will make our country energy independent and secure,” the Democrat said. Once completed, the pipeline will transport natural gas between West Virginia and Virginia, a domestic energy source that Mr. Manchin emphasized is cheaper and cleaner than relying on foreign adversaries.
