Just checked the Earth Justice website and they still don’t mention the new policy 😎.
Methinks they’ve been blindsided.
Manchin is Chairman of Energy. I’m seeing a seismic shift. Bakken blinder disclaimer applies.
Original Post
A reader suggested this two-word subject heading: FERC Greta. I wish I had thought of that.
Link here. Very confusing, I don't understand the changes yet, but it sounds good for now. I can't wait to hear the White House explanation why the Keystone XL is now not only necessary but environmentally safe. Rumors are they are going to rename the Keystone XL pipeline the Greta Turnberg Memorial Pipeline to expedite the approval process.
But meanwhile, back to the linked story:
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has rolled back sweeping new policies for large natural gas projects, including a framework for assessing how pipelines and other facilities contribute to climate change, weeks after prominent lawmakers panned the changes.
In a decision issued unanimously at the commission’s monthly meeting yesterday, FERC will revert back to its long-standing method for reviewing natural gas pipeline applications — while opening changes announced in February to feedback rather than applying them.
The commission also signed off on three new natural gas pipelines, one of which will pump more natural gas into New York state in a project described by utilities as essential for reliable gas service. immediately.
Three words in close proximity that warm the cockles of my heart: pipelines ... pump .. immediately.
