Five days too late I guess.

The controversial natural gas project has been a priority for West Virginia, but its approval will bring new criticism for the Biden administration.

Politico, Josh Seagal, 5/28/2023, 8:10 PM EDT

I saw the headline while watching Bloomberg’s Asia show just now, and found the story on Politico. This is so typical of this man. It makes me curiouser and curiouser about what other sour Easter Eggs are in the text.

The text of the debt ceiling bill released on Sunday would approve all the remaining permits to complete the stalled Mountain Valley Pipeline, delivering a big win for West Virginia Sens. Joe Manchin and Shelley Moore Capito. But the backing of the pipeline that would deliver gas from West Virginia into the Southeast is sure to set off bitter complaints from the environmental groups that have fought its construction for years and turned the project into a symbol of their struggle against fossil fuels. The bill agreed by the White House and House Republicans must still be approved by both chambers of Congress, which is expected to happen in the coming week.

The inclusion of this in negotiations was a surprise to most observers. “...but its approval will bring new criticism for the Biden administration.” Ya think?
