@PeteButtigieg can explain anything except letting the Mountain Valley Pipeline get built with corrosion-proof coating that is "no longer fit for purpose"
There is no good explanation
Let history record that @SecretaryPete could have but didn't #StopMVP

You should consider Bluesky. Lots of people there who left Twitter/X behind.
Came upon you here via a CNN article about James passing.
Was looking into James after watching his great film this evening about Amy Tan.
Very sorry for your lose.

@EllieHotel_ing
Thanks for your good articles. A lot of us have migrated from X to Bluesky
Please consider doing the same

@suehalpernVT,
Thought you'd like this article by @elaineanselmi who, in turn, would no doubt like your book, Four Wings and A Prayer

Joe Manchin is forever linked to the Mountain Valley Pipeline.
But so are @SecretaryPete & @PHMSA_DOT
Unless and until @PeteButtigieg says #StopMVP, it will forever be his Achille's heel 💥🔥

This is a pretty rich statement considering that @PeteButtigieg & @PHMSA_DOT recently gave the green light to the Mountain Valley Pipeline which has a corrosion-proof coating that is "no longer fit for purpose" 💥🔥

Across America, aging, leak-prone gas pipes beneath the ground can threaten public safety, raise your energy costs, and harm our environment. Today, we've announced new funding from the Biden-Harris infrastructure project to replace these pipelines.

@SecretaryPete & @PHMSA_DOT are at the top of the Good Ol Boy network where everyone goes along to get along.
If MVP ever ruptures, it's on them
They oversee the pipeline inspection process that @billmckibben rightly said is "a sham run by the industry"
nitter.gq/billmckibben/status/17…
Truly landmark piece from @MikeSoraghan in @politico--The pipeline inspection process is a sham run by the industry, and he has the receipts.
If you live near an existing or proposed pipeline, read it!

Republican politicians continue to make life for their constituents more dangerous & expensive. Democrats should face those failures & the destructive reality of the climate crisis head-on & make it clear that they’re prepared to navigate a warming world more adeptly & humanely.

This Spanish city centre has been car-free for 20+years. 12k people have moved into the centre since the ban. The Mayor says vehicles don’t have more right to public space than people — & he’s been re-elected 4 times since banning cars. Pontevedra via @WEF

If @SecretaryPete did his job overseeing pipeline safety, the Mountain Valley Pipeline would not be operating right now
#StopMVP before💥🔥

Increasingly severe storms, record-breaking heat, coastal erosion…. climate change is affecting transportation now, whether everyone admits it or not. We're planning infrastructure that reduces emissions from the transportation sector and is more resilient.

If @phmsa hasn't done its job, and it hasn't, that means that @SecretaryPete, PHMSA's boss, also hasn't done his job
Until he says #StopMVP, it will always be @PeteButtigieg's Achilles' Heel 💥🔥
commondreams.org/opinion/sla…
The consent agreement between federal safety regulators and Mountain Valley Pipeline requires several rounds of testing of the pipeline's integrity. Unfortunately, @PHMSA_DOT hasn't done a good job of informing the public about that testing and results.
appvoices.org/2024/09/18/mvp…
yes, the target has to always be not just @PHMSA_DOT but also PHMSA's boss, @SecretaryPete
@PeteButtigieg is planning on having a long career in politics
We must not let him escape his responsibility for MVP
It will forever be his Achilles' Heel unless he says #StopMVP 💥🔥
Hey @PeteButtigieg @PHMSA_DOT this exclusive reporting reveals that the steel in Mountain Valley Pipeline's pipes is defective and below industry standards. In fact, there are multiple defects. You are on notice. What are you going to do about it? commondreams.org/opinion/mou…
IMO, @PHMSA_DOT, a bunch of faceless bureaucrats, should never be mentioned w/o also mentioning their boss, @SecretaryPete, who seems to visit everywhere except the MVP blast zone and answer every ? except why he is letting MVP operate with defective corrosion- proof coating 💥🔥

Seems like a good time to revive another @commondreams article from May ⬇️ which raises questions about Welspun, the manufacturer of MVP pipe.
Welspun has a deeply troubled past. Reporters should look into it and report it...before 💥🔥

Good reporting by @JonSokolow
As @billmckibben said ⬇️"the pipeline inspection process is a sham run by the industry"
Important to remember that @PeteButtigieg & @PHMSA_DOT are at the top of that Good Ol Boy network where people go along to get along 💥
