Biden's LNG Pause: Politics Over Science, Americans Suffer
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 3 hours ago
The recent revelation regarding the Biden administration's pause on liquefied natural gas (LNG) export permits has raised serious concerns about the integrity of the scientific foundation underpinning energy policy.
A preprint study that was heavily cited to support the LNG pause claimed that LNG produced 247% more emissions than coal. However, following peer review, that staggering figure has been drastically reduced to just 33%.
This significant reversal calls into question the scientific rigor of the Biden administration’s decision-making process, suggesting it may have been based more on political agendas than on sound environmental science.
Jeff Eshelman, president and CEO of the Independent Petroleum Association of America, commented on the situation, labeling the initial study "shoddy science."
He highlighted how this misinformation has negatively impacted not only the American energy sector but also the United States' standing as a reliable energy partner for allied nations.
Howarth, the study’s author, staunchly defends the validity of his conclusions, but critics are quick to point out inconsistencies and prior retractions in his work. The shifting figures surrounding emissions raise alarm bells about the credibility of the environmental narrative pushed by the current administration.
The implications of this study’s flawed basis go beyond political theater; they underscore an urgent need for transparency and accuracy in energy policy, especially as the election approaches.
Many Americans are becoming increasingly disillusioned with the government’s energy stance, as the administration's decisions have caused allies to seek stability elsewhere.
In contrast, the focus on revitalizing domestic energy production and lowering energy costs aligns with the priorities of a vast number of Americans who are tired of dependence on unreliable energy sources.
As the country heads toward critical elections, the need for reliable energy policies based on sound science becomes ever more urgent.
With conservative values emphasizing energy independence and economic strength, the current administration must address these discrepancies to regain the trust of the American people.
