Radicals File Lawsuit Response Challenging MVP Debt Ceiling Law
The left thought it had won the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) battle and had stopped this 94% completed pipeline project cold. But then Congress passed the “debt ceiling” bill that forces the completion of MVP (see Equitrans Announces Mountain Valley Pipe to Get Completed in 2023). Big Green’s favored approach to block MVP is to use three hard-left Democrat judges who sit on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. The judges are reliably in the back pocket of the Sierra Club and the other Big Groups opposed to MVP. With the passage of the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA), the 4th Circus (as we call it) was removed from hearing any more lawsuits regarding MVP. Big Green is asking the clown judges of the 4th Circus to disregard the law passed by Congress and continue to block MVP anyway.

The Pennsylvania Senate voted yesterday to confirm Rich Negrin as the Secretary of the Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP). No more “Acting” in front of his title. The vote was 48 to 1 to confirm, with the lone holdout being Sen. Doug Mastriano (R-Adams). As we reported yesterday, Sen.

The Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission operates the largest sewage treatment plant in the entire state of New Jersey–in Newark. When Hurricane Sandy hit in 2012, the sewer plant lost power and dumped billions of gallons of raw sewage into the Passaic River. The Commission has a plan to prevent that from happening again: Build a tiny natural gas peaker plant to generate electricity. It would only be used to prevent such environmental damage again (i.e., rarely used). Yet Earthjustice and other radicalized leftists accuse the plan to the build the peaker plant as racist.
Domestic consumption and export of natural gas in the U.S. grew a combined 34.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), or 43%, from 2012 to 2022. One of the biggest reasons for the dramatic increase was a mass change from producing electricity with coal plants to using natural gas-fired plants instead. So says the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) in a new post.
Earlier this year, British oil giant BP announced it would no longer publish its vaunted annual Statistical Review of World Energy, a publication it has issued each year since 1952 (see
