Sen. Joe Manchin talks to reporters as he leaves the Senate floor following a vote on January 23, 2024, in Washington, D.C.by one campaigner as “the biggest giveaway in decades to the fossil fuel industry” — advanced Wednesday in a key vote that came over the objections of hundreds of green groups.the proposal will “strengthen American energy security by accelerating the permitting process for critical energy and mineral projects of all types in the United States.
from last week, Slocum stressed that the bill “is nothing short of the first steps to implement the radical corporate giveaway agenda espoused in ‘Project 2025,'” a sweeping far-right initiative led by the Heritage Foundation.“That agenda essentially calls for automatic approvals of liquefied natural gas exports regardless of the impact on climate change, frontline communities suffering with environmental and health problems, and on prices for American families,” he said.
The letter has sections on LNG exports, the fossil fuel industry, federal mining law, and judicial review, emphasizing that the bill “guts bedrock environmental protections, endangers public health, opens up tens of millions of acres of public lands and hundreds of millions of acres of offshore waters to further oil and gas leasing, gives public lands to mining companies, and would defacto rubberstamp gas export projects that harm frontline communities and perpetuate the climate crisis.
The Permitting bill introduced by Senators Manchin & Barrasso is a dirty deal that would would fast-track gas exports and be a massive giveaway to the oil and gas industry. Urge your senators to protect our future by opposing this fossil fuel giveaway.
