A new project for LNG export has been submitted by New Fortress Energy, proposed off the coast of Grand Isle Louisiana in Jefferson Parish. New Fortress is looking to fast track approval to build several low cost LNG projects in the Gulf Coast. MARAD, an agency of the Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Coast Guard are responsible for approving or denying New Fortress’s plans for expanding harmful fracked gas export in the Gulf Coast. Any new fossil fuel project undermines environmental justice and climate goals. The first opportunity for public comments is open through May 26 where you can share your thoughts on the proposal.
