Early last week West Virginia U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin sent a “Dear Joe” letter to President Biden expressing his support for both Keystone and MVP (see WV U.S. Senators Strongly Oppose Biden’s Climate Policies, Nominees). In the letter, Manchin asked Biden to reconsider pulling the permit for Keystone XL. He made the point loud and clear that our country must maintain its energy security through pipeline projects like Keystone and Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP). Interestingly, Manchin sent a second letter to Biden on Friday, this one to promote fracking and natural gas infrastructure.
