Biden Urged to Use Obscure Law to Thwart Pacific Northwest Pipeline Expansion
- Activists tout decades-old law to advance climate agenda
- TC Energy plans expansion of gas pipeline in Pacific Northwest
Environmentalists are urging the White House to use an obscure legal tool to thwart TC Energy Corp.’s planned expansion of a natural gas pipeline in the Pacific Northwest that they say would stoke climate change.
The GTN XPress Project — which would boost capacity on TC Energy’s existing Gas Transmission Northwest pipeline by roughly 6% — won approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in October.
