Columbia Gas, a subsidiary of Canada-based TC Energy, wants to build a tiny 3.37-mile, 8-inch pipeline under the Potomac River from Maryland to West Virginia.

According to Robert Bradley, Jr. from the Institute for Energy Research (IER), the Biden Administration’s Build Back Better (BBB) plan is at odds with affordable, reliable energy. The so-called “largest effort to combat climate change in American history” is a bribe-and-bully program to systemically substitute inferior energies for consumer-chosen, taxpayer-neutral ones. The Biden plan is an assault on the free market system and doomed to abject failure.
