The completion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline could be accelerated once the Mountain Valley Completion Act is signed into law, according to Pennsylvania Business Report.

The legislation was introduced last week by Rep. John Joyce (R-PA), who was joined by U.S. Reps. Carol Miller (R-WV), Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) Mike Kelly (R-PA), Dan Meuser (R-PA), and Alex Mooney (R-WV).

“Ensuring that the natural resources beneath the feet of my constituents in Pennsylvania are able to reach Americans across the country is critical to returning our nation to energy dominance,” Joyce said. “Congress must clear the way to complete the Mountain Valley Pipeline and allow natural gas to flow to those who need it in the southern United States.”

After its completed the Mountain Valley Pipeline would provide up to 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day from the Marcellus and Utica shale formations to consumers in North and South Carolina.
