WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid pushback from industry and lawmakers in both parties, federal energy regulators on Thursday scaled back plans to consider how natural gas projects affect climate change and environmental justice.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said a plan to consider climate effects will now be considered a draft and will only apply to future projects.
Industry groups and key lawmakers had criticized a proposal approved last month to tighten climate rules, saying it was poorly timed amid a push for increased natural gas exports following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell called the climate policy “baffling,” while Senate Energy Committee Chairman Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said the agency’s “reckless decision to add unnecessary roadblocks” to approval of natural gas projects “puts the security of our nation at risk.”
In a related development, FERC approved three natural gas projects that have been pending before the panel for months. Two of the projects will expand gas production in the U.S. Gulf Coast, while the third is located in New York State. One of the projects will connect with an export terminal in Louisiana for liquefied natural gas.

They will just bury it for a week or two and then sneak it in a bill that Congre$$ never reads and the pa$$es.
These clowns and the EPA are passing laws, not regulations, because our "elected officials" have abdicated their oversight responsibilities on regulatory agencies. Instead, they spend their time fund raising across the street in Democrat and GOP headquarters making sure they raise enough to entitle them to a slice of that pie. Perhaps it's way past time to throw the bums out and start over.
Ano anti-American federal 3 letter agency. That makes...all of them.
“… scaled back plans…”
Yeah.
Right.
“… scaled back plans…” Yeah. Right.

They did! The cut them back from ridiculously ludicrous to merely draconian. See? All the difference in the world!
