Last week the Biden White House announced a new pause on liquified natural gas (LNG) exports, touting this as yet another step towards fighting climate change.
The White House made the formal announcement on January 26th. The Biden administration stated:
President Biden has been clear that climate change is the existential threat of our time – and we must act with the urgency it demands to protect the future for generations to come. That’s why, since Day One, President Biden has led and delivered on the most ambitious climate agenda in history, which is lowering energy costs for hardworking Americans, creating millions of good-paying jobs, safeguarding the health of our communities, and ensuring America leads the clean energy future.
Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is announcing a temporary pause on pending decisions on exports of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to non-FTA countries until the Department of Energy can update the underlying analyses for authorizations. The current economic and environmental analyses DOE uses to underpin its LNG export authorizations are roughly five years old and no longer adequately account for considerations like potential energy cost increases for American consumers and manufacturers beyond current authorizations or the latest assessment of the impact of greenhouse gas emissions. Today, we have an evolving understanding of the market need for LNG, the long-term supply of LNG, and the perilous impacts of methane on our planet. We also must adequately guard against risks to the health of our communities, especially frontline communities in the United States who disproportionately shoulder the burden of pollution from new export facilities. The pause, which is subject to exception for unanticipated and immediate national security emergencies, will provide the time to integrate these critical considerations.
The U.S. is already the number one exporter of LNG worldwide – with U.S. LNG exports expected to double by the end of this decade. At the same time, the U.S. remains unwavering in our commitment to supporting our allies around the world. Today’s announcement will not impact our ability to continue supplying LNG to our allies in the near-term. Last year, roughly half of U.S. LNG exports went to Europe, and the U.S. has worked with the E.U. to successfully economize consumption and manage its storage to ensure that unprovoked acts of aggression cannot threaten its supply. Furthermore, in 2022, the E.U and U.S. pledged to work toward the goal of ensuring additional LNG volumes for the E.U. market – with the U.S. exceeding our annual delivery targets to the E.U. in each of the past two years. Through existing LNG production and export infrastructure, the U.S. has – and will continue – to deliver for our allies.
As Republicans in Congress continue to deny the very existence of climate change while attempting to strip their constituents of the economic, environmental and health benefits of the President’s historic climate investments, the Biden-Harris Administration will continue to lead the way in ambitious climate action while ensuring the American economy remains the envy of the world.
As noted by The New York Times, ahead of the announcement the Biden administration met with Alex Haraus, a 25-year-old Colorado social media influencer who leads a social media campaign against LNG operations in the Gulf.
Europe, which has already been getting pummeled with sky high energy prices due to restrictions levied against Russia, and the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline, and is set to get whacked some more.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Simply put, we are the carbon they want to reduce – by starvation, cold, famine, travel restrictions, etcetera, etcetera… Remember to stay strong and hopeful, brethren, as these wicked acts continue to pour in.
[35] Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? [36] As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. [37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. [38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, [39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35-39
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

It’s such a shame that they allow these thieves to get by with theft. The manager of the store should be trained on how to use a gun and at least scare them, don’t kill them, and maybe they would be able curb the thieves, but nobody does anything and they continue to get away with it. A SIGN OF THE TIMES, for sure.
Climate change, LOL. Wait till the climate really changes:
Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Romans 8:35-39 Is such a rich and meaningful passage. What a profundity of love that our God has! What a huge blessing for each and every believer. We must all hang on to that. What a comfort.
Governor Abbott of Texas started a confrontation with the Biden administration over the invasion at the Mexican border and within days Biden retaliated by stopping sales of LNG which is primarily produced in Texas
This is essentially an embargo being imposed on Texas because they dared to defy the Globalist agenda of open borders.
It’s what tyrants do, they try and bankrupt you by boycotting your business or through nonsense legal actions if you don’t get in line.
The guvmint is SO corrupt, there’s no way of getting around it. We have to obey or they will punish us in a way that hits us in the pocket book or in the stomach (food shortages). Hell is overflowing with politicians, and plenty of other corrupt, evil people, like the DemonRats, but the Republicans are just as corrupt in the guvmint.
