Statement

Date: Sept. 30, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Oil and Gas

Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement regarding the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) publication of its final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal:

"Now that FERC has given a second positive environmental review of the Jordan Cove LNG export project, I call on the Department of Energy to quickly give its final approval to this important project. The administration has given communities along the Gulf Coast and East Coast the opportunity to access overseas markets. It must not leave the West behind. The administration must give western states and Indian tribes equal opportunity to access overseas markets and fully reap the benefits of LNG exports."
