Multiple reports refute claims made by the Biden administration to justify restricting U.S. liquified natural gas (LNG) exports – the majority of which are exported from Texas and Louisiana ports.
The administration announced it was implementing a temporary pause on pending decisions on exports of LNG to non-Free Trade Agreement countries until the Department of Energy updates “underlying analyses for authorizations.” Among the several reasons it gave for doing so was that increased exports would increase domestic costs, which a Texas Oil & Gas Association report refutes, citing federal data.
Other reasons given were “the perilous impacts of methane on our planet” and to “adequately guard against risks to the health of our communities, especially frontline communities in the United States who disproportionately shoulder the burden of pollution from new export facilities.”
