Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–August 5, 2014. With the recent expansion of shale gas development, the United States is poised to become a net exporter of natural gas. Last week saw two major regulatory authorizations regarding liquefied natural gas, or LNG, exports—one from the Department of Energy and one from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC—which has renewed the debate about whether increased LNG exports should be prevented or encouraged. In particular, the effect that LNG exports would have on global emissions has been in dispute.
