Manchin Statement on FERC's Mountain Valley Pipeline Order
Washington,
DC ā Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), Chairman of the Senate
Energy and Natural Resources Committee, released the following statement after
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) released a unanimous order
progressing the construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP).
āIām
glad to see FERC make the correct decision today by issuing a unanimous order
in favor of progressing construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline. MVP is a
strategically important project for the energy and national security of our
country and will play a critical role in our ability to support our European
allies as they eliminate their use of Russian energy. Unfortunately, there are
still several additional steps that need to be taken by the Administration to
get this critical project - which would put an additional two billion cubic
feet of natural gas into the market within a matter of months - complete. I
continue to call for the full approval of the MVP so we are able to
domestically produce the natural gas we need today and support our energy and
climate goals for decades to come as we advance innovative solutions like
hydrogen.ā
