  2. My understanding is the current infrastructure in the US is more than adequateto provide current supplies…these are FUTURE facilities.

    Europe needs more offloading facilities.

  3. It’s about cockblocking the GOP big fossil sponsors. Actually a good move from Biden. They have been blocking the house for months and months

  6. I think this is an attempt at the US to control Natural gas exports, considering Canada just brought on line its LNG export facility in BC. Canada is its own country and does not require US approval

  8. By the time the examination of LNG environmental impact is over,the economy will take a big hit as a consequence.There are many industries relying on LNG exports, in occurrence ,the specialized transporters/ship builders.. 🛳👍😕 🛶👎
