The Biden administration gave Sen_JoeManchin a major victory on a natural gas project amid his criticisms of the president's energy policies. A vocal proponent of affordable, reliable energy, Manchin has seemed to sour on Biden's climate change agenda.
Following multiple setbacks, the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service gave the Mountain Valley Pipeline developers approval to go through a 3.5-mile portion of the Jefferson National Forest, moving the project a step closer to wrapping up.Manchin, a frequent thorn in President Joe Biden's side who chairs the Senate Energy Committee, has long backed the Mountain Valley Pipeline project, touting its ability to boost the state's tax revenue and local jobs.
“This legislation was balanced. In the next ten years, we are going to have enough fossil fuel to run our country and to help our allies around the world," Manchin said in a statement."Now, the Biden Administration has disregarded this completely. This was about energy security and we have not heard a word about energy security out of their mouths since it was passed. It’s all about the environment.
“It is infuriating to see the same 4th Circuit Court panel deal yet another setback for the Mountain Valley Pipeline project and once again side with activists who seem hell-bent on killing any fossil energy that will make our country energy independent and secure," Manchin said in a statement at the time.
