The United States Department of Energy ( DOE ) has determined that exporting domestically produced liquified natural gas ( LNG ) benefits the “public interest” by promoting national energy security, lowering global greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting job creation and positive national economic benefits over the course of decades of Democratic and Republican administrations.
The Biden administration’s Jan. 26 application of a “temporary delay” in approving LNG exports until the DOE completes” a assessment to acquire climate impacts of natural fuel” even expands “public interest” scrutiny to a narrowed focus: the economic and environmental impacts of energy development on residents and communities.
House Republicans firmly defend the LNG regulatory lockdown, which threatens the “public interest” by putting in a dent in local governments and school districts, inadvertently raising carbon emissions, and endangering national security, while simultaneously jeopardizing jobs, creating planning and investing uncertainty, and stunting industry-paid taxes that account local governments and school districts.
