Biden must also have a backroom friendship with Vladimir Putin.

The Biden administration is pausing a decision on whether to approve what would be the largest natural gas export terminal in the United States, a delay that could stretch past the November election and spell trouble for that project and 16 other proposed terminals, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

The White House is directing the Energy Department to expand its evaluation of the project to consider its impact on climate change, as well as the economy and national security, said these people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss internal deliberations. The Energy Department has never rejected a proposed natural gas project because of its expected environmental impact.

The move comes as Mr. Biden gears up for what is likely to be a contentious re-election campaign. He is courting climate voters, particularly the young activists who helped him win election in 2020 and who have been angered by his administration’s approval last year of the Willow project, an enormous oil drilling operation in Alaska.

Biden did this, The Times says, despite the U.S. having seven export terminals with five more under construction. Not surprising in many ways since, not only is Biden this century’s James Buchanan, but also that he hopes this will help appease climate cultists in order to get their votes.

After the West started banning the purchase of liquified natural gas after Russia began its military operation in Ukraine, the U.S.’s LNG exports skyrocketed and this latest move will definitely benefit Russia’s president Vladimir Putin whom Biden decried as a murderous dictator. But, not surprisingly, climate cultists have been opposing LNG plants assuming they would solidify the U.S. having to rely on fossil fuels. Simultaneously, with this move, it can also result in delaying Europe from weening its way off of using coal-fired plants to provide energy to its citizens.

Until recently, natural gas was always pitched by environmentalists as a better alternative to coal because it was cleaner and emitted less carbon emissions. The climate Jacobins later moved the goal posts demanding all fossil fuels be kept in the ground. This is another reason why radicals, like the climate cult, cannot be bargained or reasoned with.

In order to achieve their utopia, they have to be more radical with each policy they advocate for. They continue to deny there are trade-offs and that mindset can even lead to environmentalists to not only resort to sabotage but potentially even murder.
