U.S Court Halts Biden LNG Permit Ban

A U.S court has on Monday, 1st July, 2024 ruled against the Biden administration’s pause on approving new facilities that export liquefied natural gas.

In a decision issued late Monday, U.S. District Judge James D. Cain Jr. ruled in favor of Louisiana and 15 other Republican-led states that had challenged the move.

The judge, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, wrote that the pause “is completely without reason or logic and is perhaps the epiphany of ideocracy [sic],” reports Washington Post.

The White House announced in January that it would temporarily stop approving new liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects while studying their effects on climate change, the economy and national security.

The presidential directive, which required the Energy Department to study the climate impact of new gas exports, was poised to delay the approval of nearly a dozen LNG projects past the November election.
