New Fortress Energy, wants to radically Expand U.S. Shipments of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
They are seeking an Expedited Permit from the Biden Administration, so they can build the First Offshore LNG Export Facility in U.S. History.
If approved, it would ship an eye-popping 11 million metric tons of Fossil Fuels annually.
Where do they want to build this monstrosity? Off the Coast of Grand Isle, Louisiana, an already Overburdened Environmental Justice Community that has been battered by Hurricanes over and over, and is still Recovering from Climate-fueled Super-Storm Ida. last year.
We don’t need New Fossil Fuel Exports, which will only make Climate Chaos worse.
New Fortress Energy, is asking President Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, to fast track the New Fortress Permit as Prices are High. But the Pollution, Climate chaos, and Fossil Fuel dependence, they create, will last for Decades.
There are already too many LNG Export Terminals planned or under Expansion in the Gulf.
These huge Industrial factories take at least Five years to Build and cost billions of dollars.
Most of them have run into massive Cost Overruns and Construction Delays.
New Fortress Energy, thinks that the War in Ukraine, will convince Biden and Buttigieg, to abandon their Climate and Clean Energy goals.
But we know that any New Fossil Fuel project, undermines Environmental Justice and Climate Change, and a project that won’t be Operational for more than a year, won’t help Ukrainians now.
