This was a lie . His administration already had the study in hand in 2023. The study said that although there would be a minimal increase in domestic prices ;exporting LNG would have in fact reduced global carbon emissions .

Instead they went to work and released a skewed version of the report in December to justify their freeze .

The Biden DOE finalized a draft of the study in 2023 and subsequently buried it because the initial version’s findings would have contradicted the administration’s rationale for the LNG freeze, according to four sources inside the Trump DOE granted anonymity by the Daily Caller News Foundation to freely discuss a sensitive matter.

The environment is the excuse . The real agenda is government control of energy. Like heath care ;their ultimate goal is nationalizing the industry.
When that is realized then decisions they make that hurt the nation makes sense .

Why did they destroy hundreds of union jobs when they cancelled the Keystone pipeline ? It had nothing to do with the environment . Pipelines are the safest way to transport oil and gas .

The more basic solution here would be for the government to take over the U.S. fossil fuel industry. Under a nationalized fossil fuel industry, the necessary phase-out of fossil fuels as an energy source can proceed in an orderly fashion. The government could then set fossil fuel energy prices to reflect the needs of both consumers and the imperatives of the clean energy transition. At present, the U.S. government could purchase controlling interest in the three dominant U.S. oil and gas companies — ExxonMobil, Chevron and Conoco — for about $350 billion. This would be less than 10 percent of the $4 trillion that the Federal Reserve pumped into Wall Street during the COVID crisis. More generally, these costs should be understood as trivial because nationalization would end these corporations’ relentless campaign of sabotaging the clean energy transition.
