Tell Your Members of Congress: Stop ALL Fracked Gas Exports

The Biden administration just announced "a temporary pause" on approvals for liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities throughout the country. This is a tremendous step forward, but this campaign isn’t over until ALL fracked gas exports are stopped permanently.

Under President Biden, the U.S. has become the world's biggest LNG exporter. These oil and gas export projects cause disastrous levels of fossil fuel pollution. Speaker Johnson, Senator Barrasso, and other oil and gas-friendly elected officials are pushing legislation to maintain business as usual by restricting President Biden’s ability to stem the flow of fossil fuel exports.

CONGRESS COULD VOTE THIS WEEK!

Tell your Members of Congress to reject attempts to fast-track LNG approvals. Anything less than a permanent halt to the further expansion of this deadly industry is unacceptable.

Dear Congressmember,

Message Body

I am writing to urge you to oppose attempts to fast-track liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. The "temporary pause" from President Biden on approvals for LNG exports is a tremendous step forward, but we need to go further to rapidly stop all LNG exports. Measures put forward in the House and Senate that could receive a vote this week would undo the pause and restrict the Department of Energy’s ability to consider the impacts of LNG on our climate, consumers, and public health when determining LNG export approvals.

Sending U.S. energy resources to other countries drives up prices for families and businesses at home, and now is not the time to drive up energy costs even more.

DOE must assess the climate, environmental justice, and consumer impacts when determining whether exports are in the public interest, especially as the agency considers its current pipeline of nearly 20 LNG export projects under review.

Increased LNG exports also have significant ramifications for environmental justice communities as the impacts of climate change fall most heavily on low-income communities and communities of color. These polluting projects are often proposed in communities that already bear the burden of heavy industry and are on the frontlines of the bigger hurricanes and storms caused by climate change. That is unacceptable.

We need President Biden to act to stop LNG exports, but these bills will restrict his ability. Scientists are telling us we need an immediate end to all new fossil fuel approvals — including the overwhelming number of oil and gas export projects currently proposed for the Gulf Coast and other U.S. regions if we want to address the climate crisis.

The stakes could not be higher. People across the country are watching, and we want an end to LNG projects that hurt our climate, communities, and economy. Please oppose any attempts to fast-track LNG exports!

Sincerely,
