DAVID BLACKMON: Biden’s Dumb LNG Pause Has Rightfully Met Its End

Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgham co-starred in South Louisiana on Thursday to promote the resumption of growth in the US liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry.

The event celebrated the kickoff of the planned $18 billion expansion of the existing Plaquemines Parrish LNG export facility. Venture Global. It also helped to represent the end of then-President Joe Biden’s “suspension” over the permits of the new LNG export infrastructure, one of the stupidest policy actions ever invoked by the executive order.

Biden, who turned the ball back on the first day of his second term in office by President Donald Trump, called a one-year suspension in January 2024, pretending to be the most frivolous. Worse, the claims were made in early “previews” of research that fell apart by meticulous testing, rather than discoveries of peer-reviewed scientific research.

This unpleasant job of defending this stupid policy action took the shoulders of Jennifer Granholm, Biden’s unfortunate energy secretary. Cerawek The “Suspension” meeting held in Houston in March 2025 will be “in the rearview mirror” when they meet again in 2025. Instead, Granholm Doe did his best to hype the Department of Energy’s own research When it was released in November, it argues about findings in a letter leaked to the New York Times The day before, it turned out to be inaccurate.

More concerns have increased concerns that Democratic candidate Kamala Harris consistently supported the suspension, and if elected, she would likely move to turn the suspension into a permanent policy, thus ending America’s dominant position in the global LNG export business. However, voters had different ideas and instead chose to elect Trump for the second time in November, bringing together a plan for America’s energy domination.

Trump’s newly created Bulgham American Energy Control Council Light will also participate, I told workers and executives “One of the road to energy domination is to unlock the incredible resources we have in this country: getting red tape and removing the federal government from the back of workers and from the back of businesses.”

in Interviews from the Venture Global Site Along with Fox News’ Will Cain, Wright said he was pointing to the LNG tanker behind him. It was loaded less than 24 hours later and returned to Germany. 100,000 homes in Europe can heat and supply gas for a year with one tanker behind us. This unleashes American energy for the interests of Americans and the interests of their foreign friends and allies. This is the path to peace. ”

And Biden’s absurd suspension will become a richly deserved end. Again, this whole fake controversy had a basis for zero real or actual science. That’s how America has come close to losing what has been one of the major growth industries of the past decade.

It is hard to imagine that this could have happened in the United States and that there was a system of checks and balance that was expected. But as Elon Musk’s Doge Operation routinely reveals, much of Biden’s administration is built on the basis of a complex web of fraud and money laundering schemes, with his energy and climate policy appearing to play a leading role. This lng pause episode is almost paler than some Billion dollar grants In the last few months of the administration, both the DOE and the EPA distributed it.

But, like Granholm himself, it is all in Granholm’s imaginary rearview mirror. The US LNG industry is ready to revive, rapidly expand, and is ready to resume its position as a dominant player in the global market.

Elections are important.
