Manchin's Zombie Deal (reposted)
There is still time to make a comment to the US Army Corps Of Engineers about the often-defeated zombie pipeline, the Mountain Valley Pipeline, aka Manchin's Dirty Deal, which keeps lurching back from its grave. The public comment period for the MVP's request for a new Clean Water Act permit to cross about 600 mountain streams with a 42" gas line is open until Feb 25.
The more I learn about this travesty the more horrified I get. The link below gives an easy-to-use online form with a talking point template which will deliver your customized comment to the ACE via email. Numbers count. Edit the text in the form box a little or a lot to make your opposition known.
