Amendment to Lower Energy Costs Act could expedite completion of Mountain Valley Pipeline
Wednesday, April 5, 2023
U.S. Rep. Carol Miller (R-WV) introduced an amendment to the Republican-led Lower Energy Costs Act last month that would ensure the Mountain Valley Pipeline is completed “expeditiously,” according to Pennsylvania Business Report.
“The Mountain Valley Pipeline is crucial to American energy independence,” Miller said in a March 23 statement. “All gas from the Mountain Valley Pipeline will supply domestic energy markets, meaning lower energy prices across the country as supply will dramatically increase.”
Miller’s Amendment No. 36 would ensure that the Mountain Valley Pipeline, which is currently 94 percent completed, would be finished in mere months to deliver natural gas to North Carolina and South Carolina from shale fields in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia.
