White House freezes new gas exports over climate, security concerns

[DrLeftover]

Friday the Biden administration temporarily paused new approvals for the export of liquefied natural gas from the U.S., saying the rules need to better account for climate impact and costs to U.S. consumers.

The White House said Friday the economic and environmental rules governing exports are now years out of date. It says it will pause new export agreements so that the Department of Energy can update its standards.

“The pause will not affect already authorized exports, nor will it impact our ability to supply our allies in Europe, Asia or other recipients of already authorized exports,” U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a press call with reporters.
