Trump's 'Energy Emergency' Fast-Tracks Massive LNG Expansion in Louisiana
A liquefied natural gas terminal in Louisiana is seeking a multi-billion-dollar expansion under a new Trump administration 'emergency' permitting process.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers granted Plaquemines LNG fast-tracked permitting under a 'national energy emergency' declared by President Donald Trump last year.
This move shortens environmental review and may weaken protections for surrounding wetlands and waterways, according to critics.
