Sierra Club Statement on Department
of Energy Report on LNG Exports
(Washington, DC) – Today, the Department of
Energy released a new report on the “economic impact” of allowing natural gas
exports
Sierra Club
Executive Director Michael Brune release the following statement in response:
“The law requires the Department of Energy to
determine if more natural gas exports are in the public interest - so it is
baffling that this report omits the serious threats increased fracking and gas
production pose to our water, our air, and the health of our families. Even if
we consider what’s actually included in this analysis, increased gas exports
are expected to result in higher gas prices and lower wages for American
families, meaning we pay the price here while the companies shipping gas
overseas rake in the profits.”
