We've known for decades that addressing the climate crisis requires a full transition off of dirty fossil fuels, including liquified "natural" gas (LNG).
That's why President Biden’s historic decision to pause approvals for proposed LNG export projects is a vital step towards protecting the climate and those most impacted by pollution—like the Black, Brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities where these polluting facilities are usually built.
During the pause, the Department of Energy (DOE) will reassess how it determines which projects get the green light, taking into account climate and economic impacts. But in the meantime, GOP members of Congress are doing everything they can to get President Biden to backtrack on the pause.
