House Republicans and President Biden's long-awaited debt ceiling package contained an unanticipated provision to approve a natural gas pipeline project billing itself as a huge economic boon. This project involves fast-tracking the Mountain Valley Pipeline, which, clocking in at a staggering 303 miles, will link West Virginia to Virginia. Although the permitting process has proven extensive, construction is already 94% complete. Upon completion, it's expected to generate 2,500 construction jobs, $40 million for West Virginia, $10 million for Virginia in new tax revenue, and up to $250 million in royalties for West Virginia landowners. Supporters of the project, including Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, applauded House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California's efforts to ensure the pipeline's inclusion in the deal. Overall, the completed pipeline will carry roughly 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day from West Virginia to the Mid- and South Atlantic regions.
