In a 7-2 opinion on Monday, the Supreme Court upheld a 2018 “right-of-way” permit by the Forest Service that would allow the Atlantic coast pipeline operators to place a 0.1-mile segment underneath the Appalachian Trail in the George Washington National Forest.
I love the environment because we've got the best environment.
Overall, I don't like messing with the public natural spaces we have (whether it's your local park or a National Forest,) but this pipeline will cross the trail in a very small section. I'm surprised the SCOTUS came out at 7-2, and didn't 'get political' and come out 5-4.
What does concern me though, is that everyone is focusing on the Appalachian TRAIL, but not thinking about the rest of the pipeline. It's a 600-mile pipeline.
It's beautiful country out here, but I wouldn't put it past some group to sabotage the project. And I don't mean to sue Dominion or Duke Energy on their permits; I mean to literally sabotage the pipeline!
They already started construction; a lot of the pipeline is built. And yes, when they build it, it is ugly. They tear up the land. But, if they put it back together, they have the chance to make it better than before. Bigger. Better.
The crossing of the App Trail for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project will be a HDD (horizontal directional drill) hundreds of feet below. Hikers will likely never notice actual disturbance to the trail itself.
I went looking but I can't find the stories. In Dunnellon, Florida, they were building a pipeline. A group of about 5 fat activist LARPers went there and sabotaged some of the equipment and area. They got caught, got charged, went to jail. Pipeline finished. Now, it's already leaking because of cheap building material/labor practices. So the cycle continues.
Because honestly who the fuck cares about a random pipeline or whatever when fundamentalist leftist religion is being forced down our throats and the second amendment violations by various states continue unabated?
This is how the left wins. The right considers a return to status quo to be a victory, so "you win some you lose some" is really just a very slow slide to destruction because the cart NEVER backs up the hill, it is always sliding left.
Yeah but now it has to be built with trannies.
LOL!

and trail skanks.
... Don't know enough about this to know why I shouldn't want.
I have it on my bucket list, any tips for sanity? how are the mosquitos? are leftists worse than mosquitos? That's a pretty high bar to be honest.

Can confirm, am in HDD business.
came here to say this, it's about 900 feet below the actual trail anyone walks on

Is it a buried pipeline or is it above ground?
Gotta love main stream conservatism. It's just socialism and globalism going the speed limit.
Don't burn down the country all at once guys! Be "conservative" and just burn it down a piece at a time.
Yep fuck the SC once again
What's wrong with this ruling? This is something we generally support here.

And with 2A infringements.
By them, or can we refine them into a solvent-resistant plastic casing to prevent leakage?
