At long last, President Biden's Department of Energy report on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exports is out, available for public review, and comment.

There's more below and in the blog on what I think is good, bad, and wanting in this report; But the short version for busy NVDA climate activists is this: The report is pretty good, and tells us what we already know to be true: LNG exports are bad for the climate, consumers, and our communities. Unfortunately, Biden waited until it was almost too late for those findings to make more than a symbolic impact.

But it's not technically too late yet. And the obvious thing for Biden to do with this report is to heed the advice his Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, that "Unfettered" LNG exports are "neither sustainable nor advisable."

If you already know why, click here to sign our petition telling President Biden to immediately reject all new LNG export facilities — including CP2 — and pledge to join resistance events and protests in January to convince him.

There's more in the blog and in the footnotes but here's the quick version for busy inboxes:

We've campaigned all year to get Biden to release this report, and use it to stop LNG exports permanently. Lots of climate activists have been making the case that the symbolism of getting and elected Democrat, not to mention the President of the United States, to say that fossil fuel exports are bad is a tremendous victory - and it is! Congratulations to all of you who marched, rallied, and took action at FERC and other places to get us to this point.

Unfortunately, DOE delayed the report by several weeks, which means the 60 day comment period will extend into President Trump's second term. But Biden doesn't technically have to wait for the end of the comment period to reject existing permit applications. He can, right now, reject the applications for at least six new LNG export facilities that have been waiting on this report just like we have: Commonwealth LNG, Port Arthur LNG Phase II, Lake Charles LNG, Magnolia LNG, Saguaro II, and including CP2 LNG.

But we suspect that to get Biden and his DOE to actually reject fossil fuel projects, and not just talk about it, we're going to need to take action. So we're also asking you to pledge to take action in January, if needed, and to follow the lead of frontline leaders from Texas and Louisiana if they call for further action.

So sign here to tell Biden and his DOE to deny all new LNG export permits now, and pledge to join us in January to show him why it matters.

Thanks,
