Submit Your Public Comment: LNG Exports Aren't in the Public interest
Department of Energy
The Department of Energy is asking for public comments on its major new report on Liquified Natural Gas exports.
This analysis makes clear that LNG exports are not in the public interest, and could be a game-changer in protecting our climate and communities.
We need to flood the Department of Energy with public comments that make the conclusions of this study impossible to ignore and push them to reject new LNG export facilities.
Last year year, the Biden Administration paused new LNG export approvals to update outdated data and analysis. Now we need to send a resounding message: LNG exports are a climate disaster that drive up energy costs, endanger vulnerable communities, and put our national security at risk.
When you add your name to this petition, we'll submit the comment below to the Department of Energy on your behalf. Please also add your personal comment in the "comments" box on the right.
This is a critical moment. This analysis from DOE can solidify President Biden’s climate and environmental justice legacy, make it legally difficult for the Trump Administration to advance more LNG export projects, and provide a solid foundation for bold action now.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans—including consumer advocates, national security experts, frontline community leaders, and healthcare professionals—have already spoken out and were a critical piece of winning the initial pause on LNG export approvals.
Let's help finish the job. Submit your comment today and demand that the DOE stand up to Big Oil and Gas.

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) analysis makes clear that liquified natural gas (LNG) exports are not in the public interest. Instead, they are a climate disaster that raises prices for our families while putting our communities and national security at risk. That is why we are counting on the DOE to apply the findings in these studies and reject all pending LNG projects.
The updated studies released by DOE on December 17th, 2024 improve upon outdated datasets that have been used to fast track LNG permits in the past.
Here’s why DoE must take immediate action to stop LNG:
Climate devastation: Projects like CP2 LNG in Louisiana could emit 190 million tonnes of CO2e per year—equivalent to the pollution from 51 coal-fired power plants. We can’t let these carbon bombs move forward.
Health impacts in vulnerable communities: LNG facilities are concentrated in areas already suffering from pollution and climate change. This leads to higher rates of cancer, asthma, and heart disease for people who’ve suffered enough.
Environmental destruction: Heavy dredging and construction for LNG facilities damage ecosystems, devastate local economies reliant on fishing and tourism, and threaten biodiversity.
Higher costs for families: LNG exports raise energy bills for Americans while padding the profits of oil and gas CEOs. We need policies that protect people, not corporate profits.
National security risks: With LNG demand in Europe declining, U.S. rivals like China are increasingly buying up American LNG, using our resources to strengthen their power.
My community is counting on your agency to quickly address these concerns and reject proposed LNG projects before it’s too late.
