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.
LOL!
