Federal Appeals Court Reverses Approval of Massive LNG Export Plants in South Texas

A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., has overturned the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) approval of two major liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plants in South Texas. The court ruled that FERC failed to properly assess the environmental justice, climate, and air pollution impacts of the Rio Grande LNG and Texas LNG projects. This decision marks the second time the court has rejected FERC's authorization of these multi-billion-dollar projects. The ruling has halted construction and requires FERC and the developers to address significant procedural deficiencies within 45 days. The projects have faced strong opposition from local communities and environmental groups.
