Meteorologist Dr. Ryan Maue comments: "Biden administration is buckling under intense pressure from progressive environmental groups (e.g. Sierra Club) closely allied w/the Democratic party to use executive action and cancel dozens of LNG export projects along Gulf Coast." - "Europe is desperately scouring the globe for sources of gas to replace cheap piped Russian gas. However, the Biden admin shelved any plans for "war footing" LNG expansion instead maintaining focus on fighting climate change through renewables." -
"Europe long ago rationalized cheap Russian gas to meet their climate goals. The geopolitical risks were well known. Once the smoke clears in Ukraine, NS2 will get the green light, and Europe will double down on fighting climate change."
