Tone-deaf DC Circuit Votes to Ignore Spire STL Pipe Appeal

Spire STL is a 65-mile pipeline that connects to and flows Marcellus/Utica gas from the Rockies Express (REX) pipeline to residents and businesses in the St. Louis, MO area. The pipeline began flowing gas in late 2019 (see Spire Pipeline Ready to Flow Marcellus/Utica Gas to St. Louis). In June three far-left Democrat judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit overturned the certificate the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued for building Spire STL, meaning it must now shut down (see Fed Court Overturns Marcellus to St. Louis Pipe – Shutdown Coming?). Spire appealed the decision, asking the full court, all of the judges (called "en banc") to rehear the case. Yesterday the tone-deaf judges refused that request.
