A judge blocks the LNG export pause, but it’s not the end.
John,
Earlier this week, a judge in Louisiana blocked President Biden’s pause on new liquified fracked gas (LNG) export permits.
The oil and gas industry was desperate to reverse Biden’s pause so they could continue drilling and maintain enormous profits. But President Biden still has the power to reject permits for all new LNG export projects. And he must.
This decision to reverse the pause comes less than a week after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) voted to approve a permit for a massive LNG project called Calcasuieu Pass (CP2) slated for Louisiana. It’s one of many oil and gas export projects currently being considered.
Most of these facilities are being proposed along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico — a region already disproportionately burdened with massive amounts of toxic pollution from the fossil fuel industry.
Stopping LNG exports is critical to avoiding the worst impacts of climate change. LNG projects like CP2 require more fracking and pipelines and create enormous amounts of climate pollution.
