Joe Biden has betrayed the left yet again.
Biden has greenlit a project that was approved by the Trump administration.
So, once again, he is coming under fire by climate activists for betraying his promises on the climate control front.
Sorry…
The Biden administration is already pointing the finger at Trump.
The Alaskan pipeline deal in question was first proposed in 2014, then approved by Trump.
When Joe Biden came into office, his DOE dropped new regulations on the pipeline in an effort to block it, but they have agreed to the terms.
The Department of Energy stated, “The Department of Energy today issued an order amending a 2020 decision to impose new environmental requirements that prevents venting carbon dioxide, in addition to reaffirming all prior environmental conditions.
“This order does not approve construction of the project — that was done by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in 2020.
“This order also does not evaluate the long-term viability of the project related to factors outside of DOE’s regulatory scope.
“FERC, an independent agency, has regulatory oversight of the siting, construction, and operation of the Alaska LNG project.
“The State of Alaska’s [AGDC] is developing an Alaska LNG project and has not yet reached a final investment decision on whether to construct the project at all.”
Andrea Feniger, the director of Sierra Club’s Alaska chapter, stating, “The proposed Alaska LNG export project would threaten Arctic wildlife and exacerbate the climate crisis by locking in decades of increased gas extraction and exports at a time when the science is clear that we must rapidly transition away from fossil fuels.
“Claiming that a project like this could possibly be in the public interest isn’t just out of step with the Biden administration’s stated commitment to climate action — it’s out of step with reality.
“We will pursue every available avenue to ensure that this ill-advised project is never built.”
Liz Jones, an attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity’s Climate Law Institute, added, “This project will send billions of cubic feet of gas a day across Alaska and through waters teeming with wildlife, all to be burned up on foreign shores into our overheating atmosphere.
“The Alaska LNG project should never have been approved.”
We warned them Joe could not be trusted, and he has proven us right yet again.
