Venture Global, the massive fossil fuel company behind Calcasieu Pass (CP) 1 and 2 LNG (liquefied natural gas) export terminals has leached tons of mud and silt, contaminating nearby lakes and bayous.

At long last, President Biden’s Department of Energy report on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exports is out, available for public review, and comment.

Meet the GulfLink export terminal, the latest fossil fuel export terminal killing the planet and making a mockery of US goals on climate action. GulfLink would pump an additional 1 million barrels of crude oil per day to international buyers, creating an incredible 3.8 billion metric tons of climate-changing pollution.
