Trump-Appointed Judge Lifts Biden’s Pause On New Natural Gas Exports
Daily Caller ^ | 7/1/24 | Nick Pope

Posted on 07/02/2024 3:24:18 AM PDT by CFW

A federal court lifted the Biden administration’s pause on approvals for new natural gas export terminals on Monday.

Judge James Cain Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, who was appointed to his post by former President Donald Trump, ruled to grant an injunction against the administration’s January pause on approvals for liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals while ongoing litigation plays out. The LNG pause stands as one of President Joe Biden’s most aggressive climate decisions through his first term in office.

Cain’s ruling was issued as part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by a coalition of red states against the federal government for the pause. The White House ordered the Department of Energy (DOE) to pause new approvals for LNG export terminals to countries with which the U.S. does not have a free trade deal while the DOE examines the climate impacts of new export capacity alongside economic and security considerations.

[snip]

Accordingly, the Court will grant Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction, and order that the LNG Export Ban be stayed in its entirety, effective immediately.”

The states involved in the lawsuit are Louisiana, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.

Abolish the DOE and use the savings for something better. And take a good hard look at the EPA.

From a few days ago...

Saudi Aramco signs 20-year LNG supply deal with US energy firm Sempra The agreement is a 'major step in Aramco’s strategy to become a leading global LNG player', executive says

...The US has quickly become the world's leading LNG exporter, surpassing Qatar in 2023, fuelled by the abundance of shale gas reserves unlocked by advancements in hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking.

“The planned expansion of Port Arthur LNG would help facilitate the broad distribution of US natural gas across global energy markets,” said Jeffrey Martin, Sempra chairman and chief executive.

Still wanna drill, baby, drill...?

This Biden rule is an absolute abomination. They admitted it might worsen the environment, but they did it anyway.

Pure communist pos administration.

Yeah, like clean LNG is a real problem for the climate... It’s not. Biden’s handlers just want to hurt our economy in any and every way they can.

Nothing to do with the environment. Natural gas burns clean, provided the fire is trimmed to the right height. It’s about economic control.

When you think of it, let me know. I can't think of a single thing either.

“Agencies have been given the power to run and dictate without restrictions, they need to all be brought to their knee’s purged and repopulated by the new president trump”

The Chevron Deference Ruling by SCOTUS on Thursday SHOULD put an end to most this. (Of course, the bold scofflaws will do their best to continue to do what they’ve been doing. We’ll have to see if anyone stops them.)

Not that I expected anything good to come out of a bunch of deceitful creeps. It’s been nothing but uncontrolled chaos across the board. Rigged elections have consequences and there must be a reckoning for those responsible in addition to their acolytes.

“Natural gas burns clean”

But it does produce that stuff required by plants called carbon dioxide.

Exactly. NG is the cleanest burning fuel on the planet and we have plenty of it. This was done to hobble our country.
