U.S. Supreme Court In a narrow 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court revived the 116-mile PennEast gas pipeline project, overturning a lower court’s decision that blocked the company from condemning state-owned land in New Jersey to move the project forward. The decision released Tuesday could make it easier for new pipeline projects to be built despite efforts by states and environmentalists to block them, a strategy largely driven by fears that increasing emissions from fossil fuels will quicken the pace of climate change in an already global-warming planet. But the $1 billion project, first proposed more than seven years ago, still faces big challenges both in the courts and with regulatory agencies before building can begin on the pipeline designed to deliver cheap natural gas from the Marcellus Shale region in Pennsylvania to New Jersey.
