JUDGE SIDES WITH 16 STATES, PUTTING ON PAUSE BIDEN'S DELAY OF CONSIDERATION OF
GAS EXPORT PROJECTS

A Louisiana judge says the Biden administration can't delay consideration of
projects aimed at exporting liquefied natural gas while a legal challenge plays
out in federal court. U.S. District Judge James Cain, Jr. issued his ruling
Monday, granting a preliminary injunction that puts the Biden administration's
delay on hold. He sided with 16 states that sued the federal government earlier
this year, saying the states will likely succeed in their case. He cited
evidence submitted by the plaintiffs that showed loss of revenues and deferred
investments in natural gas projects. The administration said late Monday that it
was disappointed with the ruling.
