Reuters reveals Top U.S. LNG producer Cheniere asks Biden admin to drop pollution rule

Reuters exclusively revealed Cheniere Energy has asked the Biden administration to exempt it from limits on emissions of cancer-causing pollutants, arguing they would reduce shipments from the top U.S. exporter of liquefied natural gas for an extended period and endanger the country’s efforts to ramp up supplies to Europe. The request imposes an uncomfortable dilemma on President Joe Biden’s administration as it tries to balance efforts to slash pollution from the fossil fuel industry against promises to help European allies cut energy ties with Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.
