PIPELINES
Senators Urge Biden to Pass Sanctions on Europe's Nord Stream 2 - Two senior U.S. Senate Democrats urged President Joe Biden's administration on Tuesday to apply all its diplomatic weight to stop the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline from Russia to Europe, increasing pressure from members of his party. Senators Bob Menendez, the influential chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Jeanne Shaheen, who chairs the panel's Europe subcommittee, asked Secretary of State Antony Blinken to implement sanctions under existing laws. "This pipeline must be stopped and your leadership is required towards that end," they wrote in a letter. (Reuters)

New York Court Denies to FERC Greenlight For NatGas Pipeline - A federal appeals court on Tuesday denied a bid by New York to overturn a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission decision that says it rejected too late a certification for a $500 million natural gas pipeline -- despite an agreement that pushed back the state's deadline to make a decision. A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that New York waived its authority under the Clean Water Act to deny National Fuel Gas Supply Corportion a water-quality certification for the upstate New York section of its 96-mile Northern Access line because a one-year deadline to act on requests for certification was unlawfully extended when the company and the state agreed to do so.
