U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Spire Pipeline Appeal – What Next?

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 2021 three 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, threatening the pipeline with shutting down (see Fed Court Overturns Marcellus to St. Louis Pipe – Shutdown Coming?). In October Spire asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stay the order that shuts down the pipeline. The Supremes just declined to hear the case.
