THREAD- NEVER BEFORE SEEN VIDEO: Mountain Valley Pipeline "jumper pipe" BURST during hydrostatic testing, shooting geyser of water apparently hundreds of feet into the nighttime sky. Incident occurred on 6/4, six days before MVP asked @FERC for permission to go in service. 1/6
Documents appear to show 95 "anomolies" or defects and excavations to investigate and repair across approximately 224 miles along the Mountain Valley Pipeline route. NO INSPECTIONS reported along the steepest and most difficult portion, in Spread G.
It’s happened. FERC granted Mountain Valley Pipeline approval to begin transporting methane gas. Today is a heavy, heavy day. Our hearts are with the communities along the route, who have never stopped fighting for their safety and their land and water. https://t.co/6NxV9z8GqQ
Jerome Wagner is currently serving 2 months in Central Regional Jail in Sutton, WV for preventing the Mountain Valley Pipeline from drilling under the Elk River. Here is a statement Jerome released when he started receiving letters of support:
HAPPENING NOW! Resistance continues against the Mountain Valley Pipeline with a drill lockdown on Poor Mountain. Two land defenders locked down where MVP is boring under a steep section of the slope. There's a rally at the corner of the corner of Honeysuckle Road and Poor Mtn Rd.
Mountain Valley Pipeline is a criminal enterprise, destroying pristine water resources and no one is doing anything to stop them. Where are you @VirginiaDEQ@SecDebHaaland@JoeBiden@timkaine https://t.co/nuERTCVYV2
Happening now!! Madeline ffitch, Appalachian mother, locked herself to a MVP drill on Peters Mountain this morning. She has been preventing MVP from drilling under the Appalachian Trail in the Jefferson National Forest since 6:30am. Come join a rally at the gate on Pocahontas Rd!

MVP DELAYED AGAIN while costs balloon to $7.2 billion. Pointing to workers who refuse to work and the mountains themselves, MVP delays completion date to the 1st quarter of 2024!! We told you so! Another MVP lie exposed!

Mountain Valley Pipeline uses a late day SEC filing to bury the news that workers are refusing to work on the project, costs have risen yet again and the targeted completion date is pushed back yet again. https://t.co/cm5dzNlQaj
Mountain Valley Pipeline loses once again in court - this time in an effort to silence opponents. Haven't they learned - people will defend what they love.

This pipeline fighter is STILL stopping work on Poor Mountain! She has been locked to a "Sleeping Dragon" buried in the pipeline's path since very early this morning.

News: The failing Mountain Valley Pipeline asks @FERC to increase the rates they can charge because the boondoggle is billions of dollars over budget and year behind schedule- and MVP REALLY does NOT want the public to comment on it! https://t.co/B1LDuL4y9x
More reflections on MVP's DANGEROUS response to an action earlier this week on Poor Mountain from someone who walked on to the site and stopped work (thread)
Another day, another delay! At today's MVP work stoppage, one pipeline fighter explained, "security and pipeliners locked arms around an excavator in an attempt to keep us from getting close enough to machines that they had to 'legally' stop construction. #NoMVP [Thread]
