West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin says Democratic leaders have agreed to consider permitting reforms to complete the Mountain Valley Pipeline. That’s nice of them. Alas, these mooted reforms even if enacted won’t help much since the Democratic Party’s green allies will continue their legal warfare.
Mr. Manchin on Monday released a summary of environmental permitting changes that he’s proposed in return for his vote for the Schumer-Manchin bill.
