The Biden administration has thrown its weight behind the Mountain Valley pipeline, a major natural gas project favored by West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin and opposed by environmental advocates.

The 303-mile pipeline and other natural gas projects like it will “play an important role” in supporting the transition to clean energy and in safeguarding the energy system, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a letter Friday evening to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

I will have to say, this is absolutely stunning news!

Hey Jenny, you ever get that mole on your cheek removed?

Why don’t you throw some love towards the Keystone XL?

Re-election ploy.

[Red Badger]

10% for the Big Guy is why.........................

[wally_bert]

Bet it never gets past the initial design phase.

[gov_bean_ counter]

That would be a good bet.

“ Re-election ploy.”
Bingo.
Even a blind man could see it. Smart play.

Because when it’s THEIR idea, it’s a GOOD idea.

[MotorCityBuck]

Definitely a feather in the cap for Manchin. That secures his vote in the Senate moving forward.

[AnthonySoprano]

2013! 2013! Manchin’s been running this Scam for a long time!

I would say in this case, just pay the 10% for the Big Guy, and the 90% for the other 9 Biden family members, and it is still a good deal for Virginia, West Virginia, and the US. Just call the graft, the “cost of doing business” in the new lawless banana republic era of the United States.

Bet it never gets past the initial design phase.

Actually, it will be 300 miles long when completed and 280 miles have already been built. Activist judges have been blocking the pipeline. Now, they will probably change their tune.

I had my knee jerk reaction when it comes to liberals proposing anything useful.

The article says it’s 94% completed.

“”With total project work roughly 94 percent complete, Mountain Valley remains committed to working diligently with federal and state regulators to secure the necessary permits to safely and responsibly finish construction, and we remain committed to bringing it into service in the second half of 2023,” Cox said in an email.”

I know it goes against FR tradition, but sometimes you actually learn something by reading the article.

Already did. Thy still have pipe stockpiled in laydown areas near the right of way.

Some of it was sold and sent to Texas.

[Tell It Right]

What's the carbon footprint of everytime Granholm repaints her Spock eyebrows?

[AnthonySoprano]

[The_Media_never_lie]

There must be some reason for this. Is dementia contageous?

[Vaduz]

Yep the Biden administration wants everything electric before the grid system is ready pure genius indeed.

The tribe is still confused why China hasn’t gone to it yet.
