Excerpt:
Former President Joe Biden’s administration recently faced scrutiny after it emerged that officials buried information on the “climate impact” of gas exports.
Biden officials have been delaying the disclosure of a report that concluded the establishment of additional U.S. LNG export terminals did not significantly affect “greenhouse gas emissions” or energy prices, Fox News reported.
The decision to withhold this information sparked criticism from members of Congress and former Trump administration officials, further intensifying the ongoing debate over U.S. energy policy.
This report, finalized by September 2023 and titled “Energy, Economic, and Environmental Assessment of U.S. LNG Exports,” was not made public until after the 2024 presidential election, casting doubt on the administration’s motivations for withholding the findings.
The report was a collaborative effort between U.S. Energy Department scientists and federal contractors, providing a comprehensive evaluation of the implications of U.S. LNG exports.
