This week sees two crucial energy meetings in Japan, a country which remains one of the most prominent financiers of fossil fuels.
LNG exports
First Anniversary of Ukraine war is a grim reminder to “stop dependence on unstable and war-driven fossil fuels”
It is a gruesome milestone. A year after Russia’s brutal and bloody invasion of Ukraine, the ripples of war have spread across the globe. Tens of thousands of civilians have been killed, along with over a hundred thousand Ukrainian and Russian soldiers.
US gas exporters bemoan European climate goals deterring new LNG contracts
There are many winners and losers in war, but one of the biggest winners has been the U.S. LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) industry.
Fact Sheet: Why Everything Manchin Says About the Mountain Valley Pipeline Is Wrong
The Mountain Valley Pipeline will not enable U.S. LNG exporters to export more gas to Europe, is not needed in the Southeast, and will increase GHG emissions and make it harder to reach our climate targets. MVP is a false solution looking for a problem. It’s out of date and out of time.
Environmental racism exacerbated by fossil fuel offsetting schemes
As the geo-political fallout from the Ukraine war continues, the U.S gas industry is exploiting the crisis to increase LNG exports to Europe.
American gas lobby spins Ukraine crisis to push for expansion of dirty US LNG
There are always those who will want to profit from war or the threat of war, as unscrupulous as it may seem. And for the American oil and gas industry there is no exception.
Reaction: Future Generations Protection Act is the bold climate policy we need
“We can’t adequately address the climate crisis if we’re exporting billions of barrels of oil and gas to be burnt overseas. Confronting Big Oil and Gas’s deadly expansion plans is critical, and that’s what Rep. Schakowsky and Rep. Barragán are doing with this bill.”
John Horgan: You cannot bankroll LNG and be a climate leader. It’s that simple.
You cannot be a climate leader and bankroll LNG expansion at the same time. And land defenders and climate organizers are getting ready to force an end to LNG if you don’t do it yourself.
Reps. Schakowsky, Barragán Introduce Legislation to End Fossil Fuel Expansion and Protect Communities
Reps. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) and Nanette Diaz Barragán (D-CA) introduced the Future Generations Protection Act to help ensure a rapid shift to clean renewable energy by stopping further expansion of fracking and new fossil fuel infrastructure.
