Earlier this week, we told you that North Carolina Gov. Roy “Dud” Cooper does what the wacko left tells him to do, namely oppose the Mountain Valley Pipeline Southgate project (see NC Leftist Gov. Cooper Asks FERC to Deny MVP Southgate More Time). He isn’t the only one. Some 52 North Carolina State House and…
Read More...North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper is a dud. He does what the wacko left tells him to do–no mind of his own. He’s like Joe Biden, except on a smaller scale, limited to harming just North Carolina and not the entire country. Yesterday Cooper sent a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) asking…
Read More...Better late than never. Last week U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (liberal Democrat from West Virginia) filed an amicus curiae “friend of the court” brief with the U.S. Supreme Court to show his support for Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) in its fight against the actions of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (see…
Read More...On Tuesday, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (liberal Democrat from West Virginia) filed an amicus curiae “friend of the court” brief with the U.S. Supreme Court to show his support for Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) in its fight against the actions of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (see WV Sen.

Read More...Yesterday, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), Chairman of the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, filed an amicus curiae (friend of the court) brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Mountain Valley Pipeline’s (MVP) emergency application to vacate the stays of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (4th Circuit)…
Read More...Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), in a move largely anticipated and expected, filed an “emergency application” on Friday with the U.S. Supreme Court, requesting the court block the recent “stay” on two key permits needed to complete the 94% completed MVP project recently imposed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (see All…
Read More...U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito, from West Virginia, spoke with reporters yesterday. She spared no words in describing her disgust with the three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and their latest illegal maneuver to block the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) project. She said she is “seriously, totally astounded” by…
Read More...Yesterday MDN told you that on Monday, the clown judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (i.e., the 4th Circus) illegally stayed a THIRD permit issued by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) for Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) to traverse a piddly 3.5 miles of the federally-owned Jefferson National Forest (see Colluding…
Read More...Three judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (i.e., clown judges from 4th Circus) yesterday Congress, the President, and the entire country the judicial equivalent of the double-barrel middle finger by illegally ruling to block the construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) through 3.5 miles of Jefferson National Forest–for a…

On Monday, Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) builder Equitrans asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for permission to restart all remaining construction to install the final 6% of MVP in West Virginia and Virginia. Yesterday, FERC issued that permission. Ladies and gentlemen, start your bulldozers! Company spokeswoman Natalie Cox said crews will begin work “shortly”…
Read More...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…
Read More...It really is sad (and angering) to behold the tactics of the left. Their favorite #1 tactic is fear. If the left can convince you the end is near à la “climate change” and “ticking time bomb pipelines” and “bomb trains” and “radiation” and “water contamination” and other incendiary (false) claims about fossil energy, they…
Read More...On Saturday, June 3, President Biden signed the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA) of 2023, also known as the “debt ceiling” bill, into law. Part of the new law is a provision that forces government agencies (on every level) to finish granting any outstanding permits to the long-stalled, 303-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) project. The new…
