LNG - Gulf Dirty Fuels Campaign

Stop the Expansion of Gas Exports!

Stop the Expansion of Gas Exports!

The expansion of liquefied gas exports (LNG) would be a disaster for our health and climate. The emissions impact of all proposed export projects would be the equivalent of more than 550 coal-fired power plants and these exports raise energy prices for American families. Extracting fracked methane gas also poisons the air of communities along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast with dangerous, cancer-causing chemicals.

Fortunately, we're well on our way to stop it. But the fossil fuel industry is fighting to block our progress. We must keep up the pressure on President Biden and the Department of Energy!


Campaign Updates

The LNG export industry has deadly outcomes that continue to increase every year. The permitted air pollution from the LNG export industry is causing up to 4,470 avoidable deaths and $62.2B in health costs by 2050. This alarming new analysis shows that communities both near LNG facilities and located further inland of Texas and Louisiana face high public health burdens from LNG terminal air pollution. It's clear that ‘Enough is Enough’ when it comes to the LNG buildout!

Check out the full findings here. 

The D.C. Circuit Court issued a decision that effectively cancels dangerous methane gas projects Rio Grande LNG, Texas LNG, and the Rio Bravo pipeline in South Texas, previously approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The Court agreed with us that FERC failed to adequately assess the environmental justice impacts of the project and how it would harm communities in the region. Now, we must keep up the pressure to stop new LNG fracked gas export facilities for good.

Take action to urge President Biden to stop all gas exports.

On Friday, January 26, President Biden halted all new liquified gas exports, known as LNG, effective immediately! The importance of this win cannot be overstated. The emissions impact of all the proposed and under construction gas export projects would have been the equivalent of over 550 new coal-fired power plants. The Biden administration did this because changemakers like you and frontline leaders from along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast took grassroots action. We protested, marched, sent petitions, posted on social media, talked with friends and family, lobbied our elected officials, and so much more. And we WON.

Help us celebrate this massive victory against big oil and gas by sharing on social media so that as many people as possible will see that when we organize, we can win!

Thank you @DOE and @POTUS for pausing the expansion of LNG. For our climate, communities, and future generations, we must stop these dangerous projects!
