REPORTS & BRIEFINGS
In this six-part series, we explore the ongoing oil, gas, and petrochemical boom in the Permian Basin and Gulf Coast. It is a story of runaway toxic infrastructure, environmental injustice, and climate overshoot.
Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC's (MVP) attacks on our greenhouse gas methodology are not aligned with the best available science. In fact, the operation of the Mountain Valley Pipeline would contribute significant greenhouse gas pollution, and our methodology for assessing its climate impacts is sound. That's the conclusion of a letter filed by Oil Change International to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) docket for the Mountain Valley Pipeline Project.
