The Biden administration can't delay consideration of projects aimed at exporting liquefied natural gas while a legal challenge by 16 Republican-led states plays out in federal court, a Louisiana judge said Monday.U.S. District Judge James Cain, Jr. sided with the states, granting a preliminary injunction that puts the Biden administration's delay on hold. It was unlikely, however, that any of the projects would be on a fast track for consideration as the U.S.
He cited evidence submitted by the plaintiffs that showed loss of revenues and deferred investments in LNG projects due to the Biden administration's actions. The ruling comes just days after a federal commission approved what would be the nation's largest export terminal for liquefied natural gas. Venture Global's Calcasieu Pass 2 southwestern Louisiana project, often referred to as CP2, was approved last week with little discussion by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
