Final Lawsuit Against MVP Holds on by a Thread in DC Circuit

In April, the U.S. Supreme Court breathed new life into a long-running lawsuit funded by Big Green groups using (abusing) a small group of uppity Virginia landowners who argue the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) had no right to delegate authority to Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) to use eminent domain to cross land, including the land owned by the small group of uppity landowners in Virginia (see US Supreme Court Keeps MVP Eminent Domain Case Alive in Lower Court). The aim of the lawsuit is to prevent any private company from using eminent domain ever again to build public infrastructure. That lawsuit still hangs on by a thread in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (D.C. Circuit). It is the last remaining lawsuit that could spell trouble for MVP and all pipelines.
