On March 28, 2021, an op-ed was published in the Roanoke Times (âPipeline water crossings should not be controversialâ) that sought to defend the permitting system for U.S. fossil fuel pipelines, and advocate for the quick reissuance of key water crossing permits to Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP).
The op-ed entirely misses the mark.
Not surprisingly, the organization that employs the author of the op-ed, the Alliance for Innovation and Infrastructure, advocates for a number of policy positions with a decidedly pro-pipeline bent.
Indeed, one member of the board of directors for the Alliance is chief executive of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System.
