Manchin takes a major loss...Ted Cruz outdoes himself
badnews.substack.com
Senator Joe Manchin this evening pulled the plug on his effort to attach permitting reform to the upcoming government spending bill, a blow to his much-coveted Mountain Valley Pipeline project in West Virginia. I thought about looking for a pipeline metaphor to swap in for the cliche “pulled the plug” but it’s late and I’m tired. If you have a better phrase, reply to this email and I’ll steal it and use it next time because this fight isn’t over, as I expect we’ll see a version of this bill either in the lame duck or sometime next year. One thing to remember: we *do* very much need permitting reform in order to build out the electrical transmission upgrades and wind and solar and everything else we need to hit our emission reduction targets. If Democrats hold Congress, it should be a top priority, but it shouldn’t
