PennEast Supreme Court Case Key to Columbia Potomac Pipeline Too

Here's a connection we hadn't made until we read about yesterday's oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court in PennEast Pipeline vs. New Jersey. The connection is this: The PennEast case also has huge ramifications for another currently-stalled M-U pipeline. Columbia Gas wants to build a tiny 3.37-mile, 8-inch pipeline under the Potomac River from Maryland to West Virginia. It is being blocked from doing so by the lefties in Maryland (see Fed Judge Upholds Maryland Decision to Block Pipe Under Potomac). Maryland is using the same flawed argument NJ is using. If PennEast wins its case (which is likely), Columbia will have grounds to challenge Maryland.
