John, remember the Mountain Valley Pipeline?
This unfinished and unwanted 303-mile-long fracked gas pipeline is steamrolling its way through Virginia and West Virginia — and despite massive criticism, the US Forest Service just signed off on the project plan.
But this fight isn’t over. There is still time for the Biden Administration to revoke permits for the pipeline and deliver on their climate promises. We’ve written a letter urging the Biden Administration to reject the Mountain Valley Pipeline and we need as many supporters as possible to sign on.
A pet project of coal baron and West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, the Mountain Valley Pipeline would be a disaster for frontline communities. It threatens fresh water and land, as well as life in Appalachia.
Approval for this project would also be a huge blow to our progress in making the just transition to clean energy. With the Biden Administration’s recent approvals for the Willow project and the Alaska LNG export project, we’re moving in the wrong direction.
To end the era of fossil fuels we have to prevent any new fossil fuel infrastructure from being created — including the Mountain Valley Pipeline. We’ve seen public pressure cause the Biden Administration to change course before, but we have to act now.
Thank you for taking action,
Team 350
