Supreme Court allows construction of Mountain Valley natural gas pipeline to resume

Just released this afternoon from Just The News, "The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Mountain Valley Pipeline may resume construction. The ruling vacates a 4th Circuit Court of Appeals decision earlier this month that halted the completion of the pipeline and called for a review of authorizations by the Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service for the pipeline to be finished.

On July 14th, SCOTUS was presented with the Mountain Valley case, wherein justices were asked to overrule "extraordinary" orders by the 4th Circuit to prevent the project from moving forward, according to SCOTUSblog.
