Smug Antis Delighted that Bidenistas Now Regulate Gathering Pipes

In May, the PHMSA issued a proposed new rule that would slap onerous and costly new requirements on pretty much all natural gas pipelines in the country, including 2.7 million miles of gas transmission, distribution, and gathering pipelines; 400+ underground natural gas storage facilities; and 165 liquefied natural gas facilities (see Biden DOT Issues New Partisan Methane Rules for All Gas Pipelines). It is yet another attempt by the left to strip away the power to regulate oil and gas from the individual states and concentrate it in unelected bureaucracies in the DC swamp. Major pipeline associations filed comments against the new regs (see Major Pipeline Associations File Comments Against New PHMSA Regs). But in typical fashion, the tone-deaf Bidenistas have ignored those comments and have implemented the new regs anyway.
