The landmark study from the Department of Energy found “unfettered” U.S. LNG exports impose higher costs on consumers, exacerbate climate change, and slow the transition to renewables. The study could complicate Trump’s plans to green-light new projects.
At an energy conference in Vancouver, industry leaders agonised over the slow progress in building Canadian LNG export terminals.
At an energy conference in Vancouver, a Woodfibre LNG official said construction has advanced on the controversial gas project in British Columbia.
A major buildout of LNG export terminals on Canada’s Pacific Coast rests on assumptions of long-term demand growth in Asia. But those forecasts are highly uncertain, two different reports warn.

The fast-growing Alberta renewable energy sector is at risk, after the Canadian province recently slapped a moratorium on new projects.
A cost-of-energy analysis of different sources of electricity generation shows that solar, wind, and batteries offer some of the cheapest sources of power on offer. Still, there are challenges slowing faster deployment.
An expected Republican wave did not materialize, which solidifies some U.S. climate change policy even as the U.S. needs more action to hit its targets.
