Gulf Coast LNG Export Responds to Sierra Club Protest
Posted on Sep 10, 2012 in Federal Regulation, LNG Exports | Comments Off on Gulf Coast LNG Export Responds to Sierra Club Protest
Gulf Coast LNG Export (Gulf Coast) filed an answer to Sierra Club’s protest of Gulf Coast’s pending application at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to export LNG to countries with which the United States has a Free Trade Agreement (FTA countries), as well as non-FTA countries. In its answer, Gulf Coast states that Sierra Club’s protest is not relevant to LNG exports to FTA countries and, with regard to LNG exports to non-FTA countries, Sierra Club has failed to overcome the presumption that such exports are in the public interest. Gulf Coast’s answer can be found on DOE’s website under Docket No. 12-05-LNG.
