Inside Climate News: Energy Transfer/Sunoco files lawsuit to preempt criminal charges by PA Attorney General in Bucks County jet fuel pipeline spill, asks for state Clean Streams Law to be declared unconstitutional. On September 4, 2026, Inside Climate News reported Energy Transfer/Sunoco filed a lawsuit in Commonwealth Court in April seeking to preempt criminal charges by Pennsylvania Attorney General David Sunday over a jet fuel pipeline spill in Bucks County by declaring part of the state Clean Streams Law unconstitutional. Energy Transfer's objection to the law: Parties could be found guilty of an environmental crime even if their actions are accidental. Because one section of the law lacks what is called a "mens rea," or "guilty mind" provision, the company said, parties could face fines or imprisonment whether or not their actions were knowing and purposeful. "A lack of mens rea requirement here offends the principles of justice and does not provide adequate notice of the offending conduct that could form the basis for criminal liability," Energy Transfer's petition said. [Note: The federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration said its investigation into the pipeline leak so far shows the Energy Transfer pipeline may have been leaking for as long as 16 months, WHYY reported on February 28.] The court challenge comes before any charges have been filed against Energy Transfer. And it concerns both a law and a legal interpretation that may not be relevant to the criminal investigation the company and its subsidiary Sunoco now face over their Twin Oaks pipeline, said Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday in his Aug. 25 response to the lawsuit. Sunday urged the court to dismiss the lawsuit, which he characterized as an improper effort "to pre-empt an anticipated criminal proceeding." Instead of waiting to see if a case is filed and defending itself against whatever charges it faces, Sunday said Energy Transfer is seeking to get a court ruling in its favor - a declaratory judgment - in advance. "A criminal investigation is not a criminal charge, and a declaratory judgment cannot be used to substitute a defense against a criminal charge," Sunday said in his brief. Neither Energy Transfer nor its lawyers immediately responded to a request for comment on the case, nor did Sunday's office. Click Here to read the entire article Prior Criminal Convictions/Penalities On August 5, 2022, EnergyTransfer, Sunoco, ETC Northeast Pipeline LLC were convicted of criminal charges related to their conduct during the construction of two major pipelines in Pennsylvania that resulted in a catastrophic explosion of the Revolution Pipeline in Beaver County and contaminated water supplies related to the Mariner East Pipelines. Read more here. Energy Transfer/Sunoco have been fined a total of over $48.1 million for multiple, serious violations related to the construction of the Mariner East Pipelines and the Revolution Pipelines starting in 2018 that resulted in an explosion, contamination of water supplies, pollution of the Marsh Creek State Park lake and the lake at the Raystown Lake Recreation Area. In 2018, DEP imposed an unprecedented block on issuing any new permits to Energy Transfer/Sunoco until the company resolves multiple environmental violations and adopts policies that require compliance with the state's environmental laws and regulations. Read more here. Frustration by the flagrant violations of environmental laws and the inability of current state law to prevent damage caused by Energy Transfer/Sunoco pipeline construction related to the Mariner East Pipeline can be illustrated by a 2018 quote from Republican Sen. Don White (Indiana County) at a Senate Committee meeting- "We should be able to deal with that company and put them out of business." Read more here. The Public Utility Commission fined Energy Transfer/Sunoco $1 million for violations related to the Revolution Pipeline explosion. Read more here. In 2020, the PUC imposed a $200,000 penalty on Energy Transfer/Sunoco related to integrity testing of the Mariner East Pipeline 1. Read more here. New Companies In July 2026, the Energy Transfer pipeline company asked the Public Utility Commission to dissolve the Sunoco Pipeline Company and transfer its assets to two new companies. (formal notice) One new company- Energy Transfer NE NGL Pipelines LLC - would own and operate the troubled Mariner East Pipelines and other pipelines carrying natural gas liquids. A second company- Energy Transfer RP Pipelines LLC- would own and operate the pipelines carrying refined petroleum products. Read more here. The Bucks County Incident On January 31, 2025, Energy Transfer/Sunoco confirmed that its pipeline had leaked petroleum, initially contaminating seven wells in the Mt. Eyre Manor neighborhood in Upper Makefield Township. The federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration said its investigation into the pipeline leak so far shows it may have been leaking for as long as 16 months, WHYY reported on February 28. Third-party environmental consultants - working under DEP oversight - have conducted water tests at impacted homes, testing well water for petroleum contamination. Treatment systems have been installed at 112 residences, seven of which had results above drinking water standards for petroleum products and with detectable contamination at other residences. Treatment systems are scheduled to be installed at many other homes. The point-of-entry treatment (POET) filtration systems that have been installed are designed to remove all contaminants from drinking water, ensuring residents can have access to clean water in their homes. On March 6, 2025, the Shapiro Administration issued an order directing Energy Transfer to continue providing bottled water to affected residents and sample and maintain the treatment systems that have been installed on homes. Additionally, DEP required Energy Transfer to submit a long-term cleanup plan and set up a way for affected residents and the community to access cleanup plans. On March 14, 2025 the Bucks County Courier Times reported the Pennsylvania Attorney General has opened an investigation into potential environmental crimes related to the Energy Transfer/Sunoco pipeline that leaked petroleum into household wells in Upper Makefield Township, Bucks County.

Green Chile gas pipeline to Project Jupiter delayed to 2027. * By Alton Wallace | The Center Square * Aug 25, 2026 Updated 32 mins ago * 0 (The Center Square) - A proposed pipeline that would supply natural gas to a data center now under construction for Oracle and OpenAI in southern New Mexico has been delayed until at least early next year, according to a recent federal regulatory filing. In a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulatory filing on Friday, Dallas-based midstream giant Energy Transfer revised the 17.7-mile-long Green Chile pipeline's targeted in-service date from August 2026 to early 2027. The Green Chile Pipeline would cross federal, private, and state trust lands in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, to provide gas to a new power plant for "Project Jupiter," a 2.5-Gigawatt data center that would be located just south of Las Cruces. The proposed pipeline project lost its expedited federal status last month following challenges by the Sierra Club and other environmental advocacy groups. Energy Transfer had initially sought an approval for the pipeline under a federal "blanket certificate" program. This fast-tracked regulatory process allows pipeline developers to bypass case-by-case review for minor infrastructure projects without the extensive public comment windows or multi-year environmental impact reviews required of major interstate pipelines. The formal challenges by environmental watchdogs forced the commission to remove the Green Chile project's fast-track status, triggering a longer, more detailed federal review process. In addition to the challenges filed by environmental advocacy groups like the Sierra Club, the Center for Biological Diversity, and Food & Water Watch, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff also objected to Energy Transfer's Green Chile pipeline application. In April, the commission's staff formally protested the request because Transwestern's representatives had not provided a copy of a finding by the New Mexico State Historic Preservation Office demonstrating the project's compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act. On Sunday, the New Mexico Supreme Court temporarily halted a scheduled hearing on an air quality permit for Project Jupiter's on-site power network. Plans call for the campus to generate its electricity using natural-gas-powered fuel cells provided by Bloom Energy. Environmental groups contend that voting on the power system's emissions is premature because the pipeline proposed to transport the natural gas has not been allowed to begin construction. New Mexico Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard, a Democrat who is the party's nominee for Lieutenant Governor in the upcoming November 2026 general election, twice denied Energy Transfer's lease applications this year. Garcia Richard ruled in March and again in July that the placement of fossil-fuel pipeline infrastructure across a 0.63-mile stretch of state trust property is not in the best interest of New Mexico's natural resources. This forced Energy Transfer to find an alternative route to Project Jupiter. "In New Mexico, we truly mean it when we say 'water is life,'" Garcia Richard said in July. "We can't live without it and we know how precious and rare it is in our dry climate. Massive AI data centers like Project Jupiter can rapidly deplete critical natural resources like water and threaten ecosystems by generating shocking levels of emissions to power their operations." Following Garcia Richard's denials of the lease applications, an Energy Transfer spokesperson told Natural Gas Intelligence that the company continues "to work through the permitting requirements as we move this project forward." Several New Mexico lawmakers said in July they're considering introducing legislation that would impose a statewide moratorium on large-scale data centers. Earlier this month, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a statewide moratorium on all new data center approvals and grid connections. Other states, like Georgia and Virginia, have recently moved to curtail tax incentives or impose stricter environmental reviews on hyperscale data center construction over concerns about strains on regional supplies of electricity.
