N.C. Does a 180-Turn, Issues Water Permit for MVP Southgate

We continue to win so much, it feels strange. But hey, we can get used to it! Back in April 2021, we reported that the leftist Democrats who run the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) had, for the third time, rejected giving the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) Southgate project a necessary Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 401 water quality certification permit (see NC DEQ Rejects Permit for MVP Southgate Pipe Third Time). The project went dormant after that, until the mainline MVP itself was built. After all, if there's no MVP, there's no need to build the Southgate extension. MVP finally finished building and went online in June 2024 (see Confirmed: M-U Gas Now Flowing Through Mountain Valley Pipeline). And now, the unthinkable (for the left) has happened: The NCDEQ issued a Section 401 permit to MVP Southgate, a 31-mile extension of MVP into North Carolina.
