Supreme Court Allows Mountain Valley Pipeline Construction to Resume After Years of Delay

The Supreme Court lifted lower court stays that had blocked construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, allowing work to continue.
The 300-mile pipeline will transport natural gas from West Virginia to Virginia to meet energy demands in southern states.
The project was approved by Congress but faced repeated legal challenges from environmental groups concerned about ecological impacts.
Supporters, including the Biden administration and West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, argued the pipeline will provide economic benefits.
Developers say construction could be completed by year-end now that obstacles have been removed by the Supreme Court.
