WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA (June 27, 2024)–In response to the news that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approved Calcasieu Pass 2, Greenpeace USA Climate Campaigner Destiny Watford, said: “Calcasieu Pass 2’s approval puts us firmly on the path to an unlivable planet. As one of the largest liquified natural gas (LNG) export projects ever proposed, this climate Death Star represents an enormous environmental threat that is already harming community health, raising prices for families, and threatening our national security. Low-income and marginalized communities will bear the brunt of all of these impacts – it’s environmental racism at its worst.”
“This approval entirely balks the Biden administration’s pause. Now more than ever, we need the president to finish the job and make bold changes. It’s time to stop this disastrous project from advancing any further.”
