Biden Admin Blocks Another Natural Gas Project That Eco-Groups Pushed For
lng rail carThe Biden administration has opted against granting a permit for transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Wyalusing, Pennsylvania, to Gibbstown, New Jersey, via railroad.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) stated in a federal filing published Monday that it had rejected a special permit from Energy Transport Solutions, a Missouri-based liquid fuels transportation firm, to renew authorization for LNG transportation. [emphasis, links added]
A DOT subagency, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) explained Tuesday that the decision was, in part, a result of litigation.
“Prior to the denial, the project to transport LNG for foreign export was already halted by Energy Transport Solutions as part of a legal settlement with external litigants,” a PHMSA spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
