How oil and gas exports are undermining climate progress
The U.S. is now the largest exporter of methane gas in the world, and the fossil fuel industry is rapidly building new export infrastructure in the same communities that are already bearing the brunt of fossil fuel pollution. Read more: [link removed]

HOW YOU CAN HELP
We need to stop this proposed methane gas export project
If approved, the Calcasieu Pass 2 (CP2) facility could pollute up to 20 times the annual carbon emissions of the Willow drilling project in Alaska — equivalent to emissions from more than 42 million gas-powered cars or more than 50 coal-fired power plants. We have an opportunity to tell the federal government to put people over polluters and reject the CP2 project.
