America’s Gas Pipeline Buildout Is Mainly for Exports—Not Energy Independence

/

More than three-quarters of new gas pipeline capacity under development in the US would feed additional liquefied natural gas exports rather than supporting domestic energy needs, a new report concludes.  Greenhouse gas emissions tied to that new capacity would be far larger than the current climate pollution from all coal-fired power plants nationwide, according to the […]

Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) about […]
