Arrr! Cap'n Biden be callin' for a breather on them fancy gas exports, sayin' he needs to ponder the storms and treasure it might bring. Methinks he be fearin’ the seas of climate and gold! Avast, let’s see if this ship sails or sinks!
Avast ye landlubbers! The Biden crew be blowin’ the horn, warnin’ that liftin’ the moratorium on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports could send energy prices shootin’ up by as much as 30%! Aye, the report be stirrin’ up a tempest, with industry mates callin’ it a politically motivated sea shanty for landlubber environmentalists. Meanwhile, the greens be callin’ it weak as a three-legged sea turtle!The report sails in just befor’ Trump takes the helm, after Biden declared a hold on LNG exports to non-Free Trade countries, arguin' that it’s time to weigh the climate and economic hauls of such a bounty. The draft be open for a 60-day comment period, and it warns that increased LNG exports could lead to a rise in greenhouse gas emissions as high as 1.5 gigatons by 2050, while givin’ the economy a mere 0.2% boost.
Meanwhile, the industry be sayin’ that LNG be cleaner than coal, helpin’ reduce emissions. The report has the energy honchos up in arms, with claims it threatens a million jobs, while greens be demandin’ stricter bans! With Trump promising to unleash a tidal wave of LNG exports, the seas be churnin’ with debate! Aye, the energy tussle continues, and time be tellin’ who'll sail smooth seas ahead!
