American natural gas is a win for climate, economy, and security

Indeed, the court’s green light for LNG export permits is a win for the climate, despite false claims made by out-of-touch climate activists that it is not. The truth is that switching from coal to natural gas has been the primary reason the U.S. has led to emissions reduction over the past couple of decades. LNG allows us to export this cleaner source of energy across the world to displace dirtier, foreign sources, which will actually reduce global emissions. Shutting down American LNG supplies does not mean global demand for this fossil fuel will fall; instead, it will simply increase reliance on dirtier sources, such as coal.
