Court Blocks Construction of Mountain Valley Pipeline in Victory for Environmental Activists
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A federal court has temporarily blocked the construction of the Mountain
Valley Pipeline pending an ongoing appeal from environmental groups. The
300-mile pipeline would cross through wetlands and streams in Virginia
and West Virginia. Activists have long argued a permit allowing its
construction violates environmental laws and could pose catastrophic
threats to vital waterways.
