DOE Officially Restarts “Paused” LNG Export Permit Approvals

In January 2024, the sleazeballs that operated Joe Biden's autopen slapped a “pause” on allowing the Department of Energy (DOE) to review and issue export approvals for any new LNG export facilities (see White House Makes it Official – Biden Declares War on LNG Exports). The move profoundly and negatively affected our domestic natural gas industry, putting some 17 or more multi-billion-dollar projects on hold. The pause was supposed to last until a so-called “study” was completed evaluating LNG exports’ potential global warming and economic impacts. The “study” was released in December (see Biden/Granholm DOE Releases Garbage Anti-LNG Exports “Study”). The incoming Trump administration immediately began to work around the pause (see Dept. of Energy Reverses Biden LNG Pause, Extends Comment Period). The pause is now officially ended with the Trump DOE "finalizing" the 2024 "study."
