Trump considers action to limit states’ ability to block pipelines
Tuesday, January 29, 2019
The Trump administration is considering taking action to limit states’ abilities to block interstate gas pipelines and other energy projects, according to the Pittsburg Post-Gazette.
The potential rule-change is aimed at states in the Northeast, where opposition to pipeline projects has helped prevent abundant shale gas in Pennsylvania and Ohio from reaching consumers in New York and other cities.
The new initiative goes hand in hand with expectations that President Donald Trump would use his State of the Union address to tout efforts to accelerate permitting and construction of oil and gas pipelines, though he’s postponed the speech and the exact timing of any announcement remains unclear.
