A natural gas expansion project spanning portions of New Jersey, Delaware and New York was dealt a legal setback after a federal appeals court vacated the approval of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
The U.S. Court of Appeals overturned federal approval of the $1 billion expansion of the Transco natural gas pipeline, which would run through sections of New Jersey and Pennsylvania with extensions stretching into southern New York.
The panel ruled that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission overlooked studies that the market for expanded natural gas in New Jersey was low when it granted approval last year to the based company's project to expand its pipeline.
"The record estimates enormous GHG emissions from the project for the next half century," Judge J. Michelle Childs wrote for the panel in a 33-page ruling. "FERC disclosed the estimated emissions and its Social Cost of Carbon analysis. But it then walked away from the relevant issues with a fatalistic shrug."
The move was praised by green groups, which filed the challenge and argued the project was unnecessary and would sharply increase fossil fuel emissions and worsen the impacts of climate change.

The appeals courts are already doing this by shutting down the pipelines to the northeast.

J. Michelle Childs, Biden stooge for the DC Circuit.
We don’t need natural gas. We can put illegal immigrants on treadmills and feed them insects. I think this is the liberals’ plan.

This case never had a chance.
“Trump needs to focus on the green new scam bigly.”
I agree. Every day I read a new article on the failures of the “green new deal” and the climate chaos scam. He needs to address that at every rally and every interview.
For instance, another school district has returned to diesel buses (Detroit I believe) after the EV experiment costing tons of money was a complete failure.
“Can we just cut blue states off from any gas (including that needed to provide electricity) and just let them freeze to death?”
looks like they’re doing a fine job of cutting themselves off without the need for any outside help!

It is not a court business to evaluate market prediction!
The pipeline is build with private money (I hope so), these people have the right to do whatever they want with their money. So if the market is not there, they will loose big!
They have the right to loose big!
Not a court business!
Can't somebody analyze the Social BENEFITS of Carbon? I'd wager the benefits are a million times higher than any costs they postulate. Warm homes, cool houses, easy cooking, warm water, hygiene, refrigeration keeping food safe from spoilage, every product made in a factory, fertilizer and cheap food -- there are limitless benefits from natural gas fuel.
What is the "cost" they postulate? A 0.1 degree rise in temperature 100 years from now?
Let email freeze
I can’t quite figure out why a court would have any say in the matter.
climate nazis along with the Marxist radicals are a cancer that is terminal if we allow it and so far we are
We had EV Bus problems here, too. So they decided to heat the new garage so the buses would start. Costs a fortune...who’s counting. Idiots. And the cost of EV buses is ridiculous.
What the hell right does the filthy Union government have meddling in such things? Oh well, it’s NJ and NY..they voted for freezing and exorbitant energy prices.
“Let the Yankees freeze...... In the dark.”
