The Biden administration is addressing concerns surrounding liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, warning that unrestricted exports could harm the U.S. economy and exacerbate climate issues. A Department of Energy report indicates that increased LNG exports would likely lead to higher prices and negative environmental impacts. While the administration stresses caution and highlights the findings of the latest study, it stops short of imposing a strict ban on new export permits. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is preparing to advocate for a significant increase in LNG projects, with plans to rescind existing export pauses. Republicans are pressing for transparency regarding the scientific basis behind any restrictions on LNG exports, as the political landscape surrounding this issue remains contentious.
