The following letter has been signed by the Clean Arctic Alliance:
Dear President Biden,
As organizations from the United States and around the world, we applaud your decision to halt pending approvals of liquified natural gas (LNG) exports to non-free trade countries to review their impacts to climate, economics, and national security as part of the public interest determination. As you rightly noted, “the climate crisis is the existential threat of our time.” We call on you to expand the pause to include stopping all LNG and related fossil fuel infrastructure permits across all U.S. federal agencies and institute a robust and democratic public comment period as part of the Department of Energy public interest review.
