Hi Pamela,
Last month, the Biden Administration released its long-awaited analysis of the environmental, economic, and public health impacts of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.
This study makes one thing clear: approving more LNG exports will drive up costs for families and supercharge global climate pollution.
Now, we're in a 60-day public comment period, and we have no time to waste. The Department of Energy (DOE) says it won't revise the analysis itself, but it will use our feedback to guide decisions on future LNG export approvals.
Submit your comment now to demand the DOE reject new LNG export permits. We can't afford to let this crucial analysis be ignored — or buried.
Here's why your voice is urgently needed:
-
Climate devastation: Projects like CP2 LNG in Louisiana could emit 190 million tonnes of CO2e per year—equivalent to the pollution from 51 coal-fired power plants. We can't let these carbon bombs move forward.
-
Health impacts in vulnerable communities: LNG facilities are concentrated in areas already suffering from pollution and climate change. This leads to higher rates of cancer, asthma, and heart disease for people who've suffered enough.
-
Environmental destruction: Heavy dredging and construction for LNG facilities damage ecosystems, devastate local economies reliant on fishing and tourism, and threaten biodiversity.
-
Higher costs for families: LNG exports raise energy bills for Americans while padding the profits of oil and gas CEOs. We need policies that protect people, not corporate profits.
We've seen how public pressure can stop fossil fuel projects in their tracks. If enough of us speak out, the DOE can't simply turn a blind eye — every comment becomes part of the public record. Even if the Trump administration tries to rewrite the narrative, this study will stand as powerful evidence that LNG expansion is a terrible deal for our climate and our communities.
Let's show the DOE that we refuse to let Big Oil and Gas profit at our expense. Make your voice heard: Submit your comment today!
In solidarity,
