WV Sen. Capito Joins Joe Manchin in Pushing to Complete MVP ASAP
West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, a Democrat, has (for months) forcefully pushed the issue of completing the 94% completed Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) project, a 303-mile pipeline from WV into Virginia. Manchin recently let all five Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) commissioners know of his displeasure that this project, along with other pipeline projects, is delayed (see U.S. Sen. Manchin Rips FERC Commissioners Over Climate Policies). Manchin also told FERC Chairman Richard "Dick" Glick to "do his damn job" with respect to approving natural gas pipelines like MVP (see Joe Manchin Tells (Off) Dick Glick: “Do Your Damn Job!” re Pipes). WV's other U.S. Senator, Shelley Moore Capito (a Republican), is finally getting into the act too.
