FERC cites Trump orders in LNG case rehearing bid

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is urging the D.C. Circuit to reconsider its decision vacating approvals for two Texas liquefied natural gas projects. FERC argues that former President Donald Trump's revocation of environmental executive orders weakens the court’s rationale for blocking the projects. The Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas and other groups had challenged FERC’s environmental review, citing impacts on tribal lands and climate. The case remains in dispute.
