The Biden administration quietly rescinded a Trump-era regulation allowing companies to transport liquefied natural gas (LNG) via rail in a victory for environmental groups.
In a federal filing Friday ahead of the holiday weekend, the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) formally suspended the 2020 authorization of LNG transportation in rail tank cars. The rule will remain in effect until either a permanent rule regarding LNG rail tank car transportation is proposed and finalized — a process that may take several months — or June 30, 2025.

Doesn’t matter, this is how the slow boil starts and it’s been going on for awhile now.
Eventually, you know they’ll ban it all to corral us.
Wait. It was said team Biden wanted to transport fossil fuels via rail to reward Warren Buffet.
I thought him and Buffett had a deal.
If it were LPG instead of LNG, then it would end all petroleum refining in the US.
Buffet didn’t agree to 10% for The Big Guy so no more fuel via trains.
Instead of banning stoves they will ban the delivery of gas to your area.
Buffet won’t be happy.
“The Biden administration quietly rescinded a Trump-era regulation allowing companies to transport liquefied natural gas (LNG) via rail in a victory for environmental groups.”
Cool - means cheaper natural gas for most of the US (other than the Northeast, LOL). Europe, on the other hand, will pay the price...
My town has 28 coal trains that pass through each day — the coal Coomes from Colstrip, MT and heads west to various electricity generating plants in the US & Canada with about 40% being transported overseas.
The very good thing is that the state has been taxing for 50+ years coal that is mined in Montana...the funds current balance is $1.1 billion.
Coal is good for Montana!
It’s time to freeze the Marxists to death with their own policies.
“Consistent with EPA’s traditional approach to establishing pollution standards for power plants under section 111 of the Clean Air Act, the proposed standards are based on technologies such as
carbon capture and sequestration/storage (CCS)
low-GHG hydrogen co-firing”
“Base load affected facilities that follow the CCS pathway must meet a second phase standard based on 90% capture of CO2, using CCS, by 2035”
“Baseload affected facilities that follow the low-GHG hydrogen pathway must meet a second phase standard based on co-firing 30% low-GHG hydrogen by volume by 2032 and a third phase standard based on cofiring 96% by volume low-GHG hydrogen by 2038”
Imagine what your future electric bills are going to look like.
I wonder what the heat/cooking fuel source is in the White House???
So trains can’t transport fossil fuel and the idiot shut down keystone.
so yeah, whomever is running the Biden administration is 100% full speed ahead with destroying every vestige of American greatness that was built up over 200+ years.
The WTC took at least 5 years from groundbreaking to completion. They came down in barely over an hour.......
The Titanic took around 2-3 years from start to completion. It sank in under 3 hours.....
The US can very easily fall just as fast. And since the US has been the lynchpin of a global world, then if we fall, much of the world will fall down too.
The unique part of all of this is that the US pressed it’s own self destruct button.
This won’t be pretty!
Correct.
Warren Buffet and his railroads send their sincere thank you to Washington, District of Corruption.
Why doesn’t he just get it over with and ban fossil fuels?
