Last week, Wild Virginia and seven partner organizations filed a petition in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. This petition challenges a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) decision to extend the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) Southgate Project.
