John,

The U.S. is now the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), topping 7 million tonnes in December!

LNG is a hazardous form of fracked gas that has been super-cooled to the extreme temperature of minus 260ºF, where it converts into a liquid state — and it's highly explosive. Harmful air pollution is released in LNG processing, including benzene, mercury, ammonia, sulfuric acid and noxious particulate matter. And if the liquid gas leaks from the specialized, refrigerated containers it must be stored in, it can expand quickly into a toxic, explosive cloud.

It’s a dangerous process that can lead to disastrous consequences for the planet and our communities.

President Biden said he was going to address the climate crisis. Becoming the world's largest LNG exporter is not the way to meet climate targets. Biden must use his authority to put a stop to the LNG export boom and focus instead on clean energy infrastructure.

Send a message to President Biden: Halt all LNG exports now!

There are seven LNG export terminals currently active in the U.S., but more than a dozen additional export terminals and liquefaction plants have been proposed or are under construction – each one posing serious risks to public safety, human health, and our air, water and climate.

People who live near LNG infrastructure like liquefaction plants and export terminals are at risk from the health and safety dangers of LNG. And about 40% of communities within three miles of proposed LNG facilities are low-resource communities or communities of color — a highly disproportionate number.

We cannot allow the federal government to perpetuate environmental racism by continuing the reckless buildout of LNG infrastructure. Urge President Biden to halt all LNG exports now so no communities face an undue burden in the future!

Stop LNG Exports!

As if the community impact isn't bad enough, the full life cycle of fracked LNG From extraction to end -use, results in so much methane leakage and greenhouse gas emissions that LNG can be even worse for the climate than coal.

Continuing to ramp up exports of LNG when the U.S is already the world’s top exporter would be a climate disaster. LNG exports mean more fracking, more pollution and more climate change. We can’t afford to invest in any new fossil fuel extraction or infrastructure that threatens our air, water and climate future.

To prevent the worst impacts of climate change, we need to ban fracking everywhere and keep fracked gas out of our communities and our ports. President Biden has the power to halt fracked gas exports — and he must act now

Add your voice: Tell President Biden to stop LNG exports!
