Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Az.) on Friday called on the Biden administration to pause approvals for deepwater oil export terminals.
In a letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (MARAD), Markey and Grijalva called for the approval criteria for deepwater terminals to be expanded to factor in criteria like public health, environmental justice and impact on climate change.
The criteria currently requires MARAD to determine whether such ports “will be in the national interest and consistent with national security and other national policy goals and objectives, including energy sufficiency and environmental quality.”
In its most recent approval, MARAD cleared the Sea Port Oil Terminal (SPOT) off the coast of Texas in November 2022, although applications are still pending for three further terminals. Only one further terminal is currently online.

Are there any in Arizona?
Markey hates us—and wants us freezing in the dark.
Folks keep complaining about Putin when Markey is someone right here at home who can and will damage us any chance he gets.
Ready to ride a bike?
No, But Grijalva, the former chief of progressive caucus is some kind of environmental guru of sorts.
Otherwise known for massive consumption of alcoholic beverages. He was once accused for sexual harassment, and his defense was “I was not harassing, I was just drunk.”
Leftists love criteria which can't be quantified, but merely "feelings" which are pulled out of your arse.
Eff you Mr. Malarky.
Grijalva is a long time Marxist. He was just a local politico when with the backing of Jewish money he blocked the creation of an Arab-funded Dry Lands Institute at the University of Arizona, Tucson. That money backed him, and now decades later he uses a majority Mexican voting block in Santa Cruz county to keep him in power. He is truly a very stupid individual and works well with Democrats.
Congressman Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) died March 13, 2025.
