Remove climate considerations from natural gas export approvals
What the document says“Eliminate political and climate-change interference in DOE approvals of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.”
The chapter also asks Congress to reform the Natural Gas Act so that required approvals extend beyond nations with free trade agreements to all American allies. It says in the same passage that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is an economic regulator and should not make itself a climate regulator.
What the document actually says“Eliminate political and climate-change interference in DOE approvals of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.”
Take politics and climate out of these decisions. They are about sending gas abroad.
Gas can be cooled into liquid and shipped. The government must approve each sale abroad. The book says climate should not be part of that call.
