American gas can save the world.
Discourse Magazine (7/31/24) op-ed: "On January 26, 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced that it would be temporarily pausing its review of all liquified natural gas (LNG) export applications to non-free trade agreement countries. DOE justified the pause by claiming that it needed to review, and possibly alter, the process for analyzing economic and environmental impacts of all future projects seeking approval for exporting to European and Asian markets. After many months of uncertainty and unclear direction from DOE, on July 1, 2024, Judge James Cain of the Federal District Court in Louisiana issued a preliminary injunction against the temporary LNG permitting pause—upholding a stay request from 16 states. In the long term, however, the fate of the permitting pause may depend on the 2024 election results...The U.S. has an abundance of LNG that has proven to be a vital tool in hard-power balancing against Russian influence in Europe. Expanded access to American natural gas will provide the U.S. and its allies with highly coveted energy independence, which is crucial to long-term American national security. Given the combined economic and geopolitical benefits of increasing LNG exportation, it remains in the best interest of the U.S. to resume LNG export permitting and expanding natural gas drilling operations—a primary reason why the recent preliminary injunction by Judge Cain against the LNG export permitting pause is so important."

"If anything, Vice President Kamala Harris (perhaps because of her California roots) is even more zealous than President Biden on the electric vehicle revolution, despite the fact that the $42 billion fast-charging initiative she is in charge of has to date produced nine stations."
