Last year the Bidenistas initiated a massive power grab of transferring the right of individual states to regulate local natural gas gathering pipelines to the federal government (see Massive Power Grab Proposed by Biden DOT: Regulate Gathering Lines). The oil and gas industry asked Biden to pause the power grab by 3-5 years. In April, the Bidenistas rejected that request, proving once again they are willing to stab natural gas in the back, rather than support it (see Biden Admin Attacks NatGas – Refuses to Pause Gathering Pipe Regs). We’ve just learned that the GPA Midstream Association has sued to block the new regulations, and the radicals of the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) have filed a petition to join the lawsuit on the side of the PHMSA.
