Federal Judge Blocks Biden Administration’s Delay on LNG Export Projects

U.S. District Judge James Cain, Jr. ruled on Monday that the administration’s delay would likely cause harm to the states and LNG projects, citing evidence of lost revenue and deferred investments.

The injunction puts the administration’s delay on hold, but it’s unlikely to fast-track project approvals as the U.S. Department of Energy disagred with the ruling and is evaluating its next steps.
