A natural gas pipeline being built in West Virginia has been blocked once again by a federal appeals court siding with environmental groups despite Congress giving the project a green light, drawing the ire of Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who accused the court of unlawful conduct.
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay of construction on July 10 while it evaluates the legality of permit approvals for the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP).
