European CSO statement responding to the DOE’s 2024 LNG Export Study: ‘Energy, Economic, and Environmental Assessment of U.S. LNG Exports’
US LNG exports harm the environment and communities across the full supply chain while fueling devastating global warming. No envisaged LNG export and import capacity expansion is needed on either side of the Atlantic from an energy security point of view, nor does it contribute in a positive way to economic benefits for the people and the country. Instead of being in the public interest, they serve the orgiastic profit greed of polluting companies and reckless individuals. This needs to end!
We request the current and future US DOE to deny all (pending and future) authorizations for US LNG exports and lay out further reasoning for this in our letter.
