A long-term report from the Biden administration directly contradicts claims to limit climate change in the U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG), a major story developed on Capitol Hill, revealed on the House Committee on Oversight and President James Comer R-YKY. [emphasis, links added]
The advice is that this is an awareness effort to limit carbon enrollment rather than carbon emissions.
U.S. Department of Energy scientists reviewed the environmental and economic impact of new U.S. liquefied natural gas exports and completed it in September 2023.
It seems that neither President Biden nor Secretary Jennifer Granholm likes science or conclusions.
Instead of “following science,” they buried the report, and the claim allegedly refuted directly by experts.
The report, which is completed while Biden is still running for reelection, may anger environmentalists.
The study draft “Energy, Economic and Environmental Assessment of U.S. LNG Exports” found that in all model scenarios, Increased U.S. LNG exports and natural gas production will not change global or U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
It further found that it does not increase the energy price of consumers.
Biden and Granholm reportedly buried the report and then announced a pause to all new U.S. LNG export terminals in January 2024, citing dangers of environmental and economic impacts.
