Opinion | Biden Toys With an LNG Export Permitting Ban How to hurt allies and the U.S. economy to please the climate-change lobby.

LEEP Spokesperson Charlie Melancon's statement on the White House LNG Taskforce:

"At a time of geopolitical turmoil and record high coal use around the world, blocking LNG export permits to appease a small pocket of voters would be a serious misstep by the Biden administration. Currently, the United States leads the world in LNG exports – shipping reliable, clean American energy to our allies across the globe. Our nation's dominance in the global energy market is a key pillar of achieving U.S. energy security and reducing reliance on Russian gas. Americans understand this, and the numbers show that a strong majority of Americans support LNG and view natural gas as a cleaner substitute for coal. Support is even stronger here in Louisiana, and the consequences of a LNG permitting pause would be felt deeply by hardworking Louisianans who rely on the energy industry daily.” - Charlie Melancon, former member of Congress and Louisiana Secretary of Wildlife and Fisheries, and the Spokesman for Louisiana Energy Export Partners (LEEP) Coalition.

"As we look ahead, we must recognize the importance of grid resiliency and community when these major weather events occur. Fortunately, the natural gas industry has stood with us to provide strength and resources in our time of need." -LEEP Spokesperson Charlie Melancon. Read more ⬇️

It’s clear that climate activists have to resort to pushing false narratives to align with their message. Calcasieu Pass has been in full compliance with its emissions limits and has seen a 98% reduction in deviations in 2023.

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy: “It’s important for our state to have the power to permit, site, and provide oversight of carbon storage wells, without relying on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).” Today, we are still at a standstill.

As EPA drowns in CCS applications, oil states want to take control The agency has seen a large increase in the number of companies that want to bury carbon dioxide. But it has only approved two permits.

The importance of energy security has been underscored since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which caused energy prices to spike across the world. LNG facilities in Louisiana ensure that our nation has a secure, steady supply of energy for our entire country, and our allies abroad.

Over the past 15 years, the US has made strides in reducing emissions. This is largely due to the shift from coal to natural gas. Electricity generated from natural gas produces 50% less emissions than when generated through coal. LNG is the pathway to climate goals.

LNG companies undergo a rigorous environmental review by our nation's experts, ensuring the safety and health of Americans is at the forefront of every decision. These thorough reviews take years to complete and are subject to re-evaluation.

Louisiana’s LNG facilities appreciate the role that industrial fishing and sh*****ng plays in the Southern Louisiana economy and prevent disruption by hearing from community members. Acy Cooper talks about the real issues facing the shrimpers. Read more ⬇️

Letters: Pleas for help from Louisiana shrimpers fall on deaf ears The Louisiana shrimp industry is in crisis; putting our 15,000 jobs and $1.3 billion industry at risk.

Louisiana is the third largest producer of natural gas, and accounts for 9% of all production in the US. Hardworking Louisianans are the backbone of our state’s energy industry and have grown it to be one of the strongest in the nation.

Currently, renewable energy sources only contribute to 20% of all US electricity. Environmental groups demand for an immediate conversion to entirely renewable energy is neither reasonable nor feasible. Our infrastructure cannot sustain our need without traditional sources.

Exporting fuels like natural gas to Asia will help high-population countries like India reduce their dependence on high-emission fuels, and transition to cleaner energy sources like LNG. LNG is the way to achieving our climate goals.

The Biden administration's Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said, "I believe U.S. LNG exports can have an important role to play in reducing international consumption of fuels that have a greater contribution to greenhouse gas emissions."

Russia’s war in Ukraine has demonstrated the need for the US to be a global leader in energy creation. Europe’s dependence on Russian oil has empowered Putin and put a strain on much of Western Europe as energy prices have spiked.

The American Petroleum Institute found that if China, Germany, and India used U.S. LNG instead of coal for electricity generation, it would reduce emissions by 50%. By unleashing the potential of LNG, we will be able to reduce emissions on a global scale. Read more⬇️
