Duncan hails energy court ruling

According to U-S Representative Jeff Duncan, an appeals court decision will allow for the completion of a pipeline to connect West Virginia and the Southeast and will free up more natural gas to power homes and businesses in South Carolina.  Duncan, South Carolina’s 3rd District representative, calls the court ruling in the case Appalachian Voices v. U-S Department of the Interior “a leap towards energy independence.”  He added this, “The restart of the Mountain Valley Pipeline will also reinstate jobs for construction works, increase investments into local communities across the Southeast as well as continue the payment of royalties to landowners.”
