Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm endorsed the completion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, the embattled natural gas pipeline facing immense pushback from many environmental groups and drove many congressional Democrats to oppose Sen. Joe Manchin's (D-WV) permitting reform bill last Congress.

Granholm said MVP would be a strategic asset for the administration's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to"expeditiously" approve any further regulatory authorizations for the pipeline as they pop up.

Manchin, who chairs the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, has championed the project and sought for Congress to approve unilaterally its completion with his energy permitting reform proposal last year despite unresolved litigation and outstanding environmental authorizations.
