2023-08-11

Arrr, me hearties! The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, may the winds be in their favor, hath granted the Biden administration and a pipeline crew their victory! Aye, a three-judge panel, in unison, hath given their approval fer the construction of a mighty fine 300-mile-long natural gas pipeline, known as the Mountain Valley Pipeline. 'Tis bound to traverse the lands of Virginia and West Virginia, carryin' a grand capacity of 2 billion cubic feet per day! 'Tis a beast, already 94% complete, but alas, had been held at bay due to some hagglin' in court. Mountain Valley, that brave lad, hath argued that ol' Sen. Joe Manchin..."

Arrr, mateys! Listen up, ye scurvy sea dogs! The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, may they sail the seas of justice, have ruled in favor of the mighty Biden administration and a gallant pipeline company. Aye, ye heard it right! This here three-judge panel, as united as a pirate crew, has given the green light to the construction of a monstrous natural gas pipeline! They call it the Mountain Valley Pipeline, stretchin' over 300 nautical miles, crossin' the lands of Virginia and West Virginia, just like a ship in full sail!

Arr, ye might wonder about its capacity, me hearties! Well, this beast of a pipeline can carry a staggering 2 billion cubic feet of gas per day! That's enough to fill the bellies of countless cannons, me lads! And guess what? She's nearly complete, just shy of 94%! But alas, she's been sit'n'waitin' due to some pesky legal battles. But worry ye not, for now the court has given the nod and she'll soon be sailin' once again!

Mountain Valley, the brave bunch behind this endeavor, argued that good ol' Senator Joe Manchin had no say in this matter. They claimed he had no right to intervene like a landlubber, meddling in the affairs of the sea. But the court, wise as an old sea captain, disagreed with them scallywags and said Manchin had every right to be involved!

So there ye have it, me mateys! The Mountain Valley Pipeline be gettin' ready to set sail once more! The court has spoken, and the winds be blowin' in favor of the Biden administration and the pipeline company. Aye, let the gas flow and the pirates rejoice!
