The approval of West Virginia's Mountain Valley Pipeline included in the debt-limit deal by President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is spurring action from climate protesters.
Activists with the group Climate Defiance blocked traffic on Tuesday in New York City and protested outside the Brooklyn residence of Senate Majority LeaderThe same organization has plans to crash a Wednesday morning panel hosted by the Economist in Washington featuring Deputy Energy Secretary David Turk.
“The dirty deal does not work for our generation. Full stop. Our ‘climate president’ sold us out to a coal baron Senator,” Climate Defiance wrote on Twitter in a reference to Sen. Joe Manchin III, West Virginia Democrat. “We invested our hopes in him and he stabbed us in the back. Now we must rise up to stop this plan.”
The 99-page bipartisan bill, which would waive the debt ceiling until January 2025 and impose annual spending caps, includes the approval of all remaining permits required to complete the Mountain Valley Pipeline. Mr. Manchin and West Virginia’s other senator, Republican Shelley Moore Capito, made several unsuccessful attempts last year to get the project approved in federal legislation.
