Republican AGs Sue the Biden Administration Over Natural Gas Export Hold

A group of 16 Republican state attorneys general from around the country sued the Biden administration Thursday over its pause on federal permits for new liquified natural gas (LNG) exports.

The states, led by Louisiana and Texas, demand the Department of Energy overturn the pause, which was announced in January. They claim the administration’s decision overrode congressional authority.

“This ban disregards statutory mandates, flouts the normal regulatory process, upends the industry, disrupts Plaintiffs’ economies, and subverts our constitutional structure,” the suit reads. “These unlawful actions leave Plaintiffs with no choice but to once more turn to the courts to enforce the law.”
