Center for LNG Statement on Federal Court Injunction Calling a Halt to U.S. LNG Pause
(Washington, D.C.) – The Center for LNG (CLNG) issued the below statement following the announcement that the U.S. District Court Western District of Lousiana issued a preliminary injunction against the U.S. LNG Pause.
Charlie Riedl, Executive Director of the Center for LNG, said:
“We welcome this injunction and call on the administration to begin approving projects that have been impacted through the pause. This short-sighted and damaging pause has increased uncertainty in global energy markets, weakened U.S. relations with our allies, and risks our shared global climate goals.
“In light of yesterday’s decision, we strongly encourage the administration to return to reviewing and approving projects before the DOE. This is the only way to truly end the pause and continue the many economic, climate, and geopolitical benefits of U.S. LNG exports.”
