$LNG explained Contrary to industry spin, so-called “natural” gas is a dirty fossil fuel just like coal or oil and has no place in a clean energy transition. Yet, the fossil fuel industry has proposed a massive expansion of gas exports, known as LNG. There are currently nine operating LNG export facilities and more than 35 planned or under-construction facilities - mostly in the Gulf Coast, that would lock in devastating levels of pollution for a generation. Expanding gas exports will drive an increase in fracking and associated pollution in the United States, leaving our communities to suffer from increased air and water pollution. Expanded gas exports would make it impossible to meet necessary global climate goals. A Sierra Club analysis found the full proposed LNG buildout could contribute to the climate crisis as much as 681 coal plants or 548 million gasoline-powered cars each year. Energy prices are increasing by billions of dollars for American families because big oil and gas companies are exporting LNG overseas. These wealthy CEOs pad their pockets by selling American energy to our rivals, like the Chinese government, to make record profits. Its time for federal regulators to defend the climate, communities, and American consumers and the economy by limiting LNG exports to other nations. Learn more: https://sc.org/no-lng$
