Forty-five GOP lawmakers are demanding answers from the Department of Energy (DOE) after a government watchdog group accused the agency of covering up a key study that would have interfered with one of the Biden-Harris administration’s most aggressive crackdowns on fossil fuels.
The lawmakers wrote to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Thursday to address a watchdog’s allegations that her agency conducted or drafted — and then quietly buried — a study on the emissions impacts of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports in 2023 before pausing approvals for certain LNG export terminals in January on the grounds that the... the agency allegedly buried because it was producing politically inconvenient conclusions, as first reported by the Daily Caller News....
If GAO’s allegations are ultimately substantiated, the Biden-Harris administration effectively misled the public in an election year to set up a policy that hurts American geopolitical interests and disincentivizes investment in major energy projects. ...

Nice acronym! :)
Granholm - Send her out on another EV travel trip. Her goons can commandeer & clear out every charging location along the way.
Have her start in Nome Alaska mid January
BTTT
“goons” is right.
Not surprising at all. The Biden, Harris and Obama administration is as crooked as hell. Everything they do is harmful to the people and the country. They call Trump a threat but they are the ones destroying the country. They are the disease and Trump is the cure. The democrats party only cares about killing babies and destroying the country. Every democrat political ad is about aborting babies. They are the party of death. The death of babies and the death of the American dream.

SCOTUS just ruled in the Chevron decision that govt agencies who do not have listed powers from Congress cannot make up their own powers and flex them on the people.
This decision needs to be used like a mighty hammer to bring Fed agencies into submission, particularly with energy.
“This decision needs to be used like a mighty hammer to bring Fed agencies into submission, particularly with energy.”
Now THIS the GOP lawmakers might actually act on. But not for the people or the nation, but purely for their own pocketbooks coming from big oil.

<>Qatar is building additional liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity after the Biden administration decided to pause approvals for new export hubs in the U.S.<>
Assume big $$$ flowed to a Biden shell company in return for US export denial.
Too much kneejerk.
Qatar has been planning and building additional LNG export capacity for years and years. It had nothing to do with anything the US decided for export terminals.
In fact, you could make a case for vice versa. Because it became clear Qatar was building export capacity, there would be no customers for US capacity because Qatar would have already filled that need.
Then there is also that little issue that the US consumes about 1 Trillion cubic meters (before you go looking for your own stats, that is METERS, not feet, get it right) and has reserves estimates of about 13 Trillion cubic meters — which includes shale.
As is always true with shale gas and oil, people see the big BILLION or TRILLION words and think there are enormous quantities. The consumption numbers are also enormous, but those get ignored.
Does this mean we have to go all left wing and cut back? Nope. Can’t cut back. There are no alternatives.
What it means is that geology doesn’t care about politics.
It will decide the cut back, not government.
That 1 trillion cm consumption is yearly.
There is no such a thing as a fossil fuel.
