The Biden LNG ‘Pause’ Deception

Now we learn that the Granholm DOE buried a study that it didn’t want Americans to read.

WSJ editorial. Excerpts:

"the Biden team deceived Americans about its 2024 LNG export “pause.”"

"announced a supposedly temporary suspension of LNG project approvals in January of the election year. The stated purpose was so Energy could do a study to determine if increased exports are in the “public interest.” It turns out that DOE career staff had already completed such a study by autumn 2023."

"increased U.S. LNG exports would have negligible effects on domestic prices while modestly reducing global greenhouse gas emissions."

"the study forecast that wholesale gas prices in the U.S. would rise less than in the “study DOE commissioned on the economic impacts from U.S. LNG exports in 2018.” Residential gas prices would increase by a mere 4% by 2050."

"In December, Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm released a different study, which purported to show that “unfettered” LNG exports would increase global emissions and domestic gas prices."
