Partners Pam Wu and Kirstin Gibbs, with associate Patrick Pennella, co-authored an article for Reuters looking at recent actions by the US administration and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that signal a more streamlined approach to reviews of proposed natural gas infrastructure projects, with less focus on the impacts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change.
The article examines the administration’s “Unleashing American Energy” executive order, FERC’s termination of its years-long proceeding to develop a GHG policy statement, and what these developments mean for future energy projects.
