25 States Fight Back Against Biden Proposed Ban on LNG-by-Rail

In June 2020, during the Trump administration, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), in coordination with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), published final rules to allow LNG to be safely transported by special rail cars (see PHMSA and Fed Railroad Admin Publish Final LNG by Rail Regs). Irrational fossil fuel haters got ahold of the cognitively challenged Joe Biden and Biden put a “freeze” on LNG-by-rail during his first two days in office (see What Biden’s First Two Days on the Job Mean for the O&G Industry). Now the Bidenistas at the DOT are moving to permanently (under Biden anyway) have the PHMSA block LNG-by-rail. Half of the states in the union are fighting back, telling the Bidenistas they cannot block LNG-by-rail.
