In the next six weeks, President Biden's Department of Energy (DOE) gets to make a choice. They can lock us into decades of pollution that will harm our health, devastate local economies, and raise energy prices. Or they can act to protect our climate and communities.

We must act now to urge them to make the right decision and halt the massive buildout of liquefied methane gas export facilities, known as LNG. DOE Secretary Granholm can determine that more LNG exports are not in the public's interest and deny six key pending export applications for fracked gas. Act now to urge the DOE to stop dangerous LNG!

Take Action Now --->>> [link removed]

Dear Friend,The Biden administration must reject pending gas export applications before leaving office. Authorizing more fracked gas exports, called LNG, or leaving the decision to the incoming Trump Administration, means:

Sacrificing the lives of people living near these facilities, and the destruction of local economies in the Gulf South, often in predominantly Black and Brown communities.
- Higher domestic energy prices across the country making home heating less affordable.
- More climate devastation: The equivalent annual greenhouse gas emissions of 420 coal-fired power plants.
- Already, clean energy like solar and wind is more affordable than fossil fuels. Economists and climate scientists agree that the world does not need more gas. LNG exports will threaten the United States' global commitments to lower greenhouse gas emissions and protect our communities from the worst impacts of climate change.

Take action now before it's too late: Urge DOE Secretary Granholm to deny all pending LNG export applications now.

In January, under President Biden and Secretary Granholm's leadership, the DOE temporarily paused new export approvals so that it could update the studies on if LNG exports are in the public's interest. They will publish those studies soon.

But Secretary Granholm has the authority to deny pending export applications before Trump takes office, and we can push her to deny the six projects at the top of DOE's queue.

We have built a powerful public record and the DOE has all the information and analysis they need to conclude that more LNG exports are not in the public's interest.

We're already making progress. Earlier this month, another government agency called for additional environmental review of two massive LA Gulf export projects because they had not properly considered the air quality impacts on local populations.

A failure by Secretary Granholm to make a decision at this moment is the same as authorizing more exports. While President-elect Trump has promised that approving LNG exports will happen on day one, he will not be able to automatically overturn any export application denials that Secretary Granholm makes before leaving office. The Trump administration would instead be stuck with a long process that would make it even more likely that the LNG projects never get built.

Call on Secretary Granholm to do the right thing and put the public's interest, especially those in frontline Gulf communities, before corporate profits -- and deny the six key pending LNG export applications.

Act Now: hhttps://act.sierraclub.org/actions/National?actionId=AR0497189&id=701Po00000YAsV6IAL&data=1cb9f3282047c6738286a6b8929bf9e4af2db05c8fdb6e2ffb3ab3ed8b0e78fe0207a863597fc275f67b6f848eaf2efc&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sierraclub&utm_campaign=beyonddirtyfuels&utm_content=LNG2024C

Our work fighting for climate and environmental justice will endure. Thank you for taking action today. I hope you'll continue to join in the work ahead to fight back against Trump's extreme anti-environment agenda and defend and build on the progress we've made together.
