White House Halts LNG Export Terminal Permits Over Climate Concerns.

The White House and Department of Energy (DOE) have paused the permitting process for several proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal projects to assess their potential climate impact. This move follows demands from environmentalists and aims to conduct a comprehensive environmental review considering carbon emissions. While proponents argue for energy security and geopolitical benefits, critics fear harmful pollution and worsening global warming. The decision reflects ongoing tensions between energy needs and environmental concerns.
