Supreme Court clears way for gas expansion to East Coast

Houston Chronicle by  James Osborne June 15, 2020

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that a controversial pipeline could be built underneath the Appalachian Trail, giving the oil and gas sector relief from what some have described as a “green wall” to natural gas expansion along the East Coast.

With Democratic governors such as New York’s Andrew Cuomo questioning the need for more pipelines when the planet is warming because of greenhouse gas emissions, the ruling was heralded by oil and gas companies as a rejection of environmentalists’ years-long campaign to block natural gas pipelines.

“Now more than ever, it’s time for anti-energy groups to stop playing political games,” said David Holt, president of the Consumer Energy Alliance, a trade group representing energy producers and large consumers.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Supreme Court upholds permit for $8 billion pipeline under Appalachian Trail

Quote
The Supreme Court on Monday upheld a permit for a controversial $8 billion gas pipeline that would tunnel below the famed Appalachian Trail.

The 7-2 opinion handed a defeat to environmental groups who challenged the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP), which would carry natural gas some 600 miles from West Virginia to North Carolina.

The decision to uphold the permit resolves a complex bureaucratic dispute involving multiple U.S. environmental agencies and overlapping legal authorities.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
