The Trump administration wants to resurrect a gas pipeline project in the northeast, years after its developer abandoned it.
The Constitution pipeline was canceled in February 2020. But in a Friday morning appearance with Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said it’s “quite likely” the pipeline will be under construction before the end of 2025.
“I think it’s highly likely that this pipeline — there’s a couple of them, actually — get done,” said Wright, without identifying the project by name. “It’s just such a win-win-win.”
The 124-mile pipeline was designed to transport natural gas from the gas fields of Pennsylvania into New York. Its one-time developer, Williams Cos., nixed the project after a water permit denial in New York state in 2016.
