The climate crisis is already here and @KamalaHarris is taking it on. As vice president, she’s helped create over 330,000 clean energy jobs and counting. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is denying the basic science of climate change. Only one will fight for people and our planet.

Republican climate denial is coming this week from Milwaukee, where they've seen record heat this summer.

We were about $6,999,999 short on funding for a Super Bowl ad with this same message, but maybe if everyone shares it, we will reach the same number of people?
DeGette:…Given the permits DOE has issued, can you confirm that we could triple U.S. LNG exports without issuing a single new permit?
G: That is correct, we are on track to double our exports by 2027, and triple into the early parts of the 2030s, without any new authorizations.
DeGette: Can you confirm that this will have no impact on the LNG export facilities that are not under any construction, but are fully permitted?
Giannetti: That’s correct.
DeGette: And can you confirm this will have no impact on the LNG export facilities that are currently under construction?
Giannetti: That’s correct, or ones that are not yet under construction—that are already with their Dept of Energy authorizations.
DeGette: And, can you confirm that this pause will have no impact on the LNG export facilities that are currently operating?
Giannetti: That’s correct.
DeGette: So, I’m gonna ask you–is the Biden administration’s pause some sort of a ‘ban’ on LNG exports?
Gillian Giannetti: Thank you for the question, Congresswoman. No, it is not.
Rep. DeGette: I’m going to ask you, Ms. Gianetti, a couple of questions – I said this in my opening statement, that the majority’s gonna keep talking about a ban on issuing LNG export permits, and, it was true, the chairman mentioned this about 3 or 4 times in his Qs just now.
Today’s House hearing on liquified natural gas can be summed up nicely by this exchange between @RepDianaDeGette and @NRDC’s @GillianEnergy debunking the myths and misinformation around the Biden administration’s recent, vital work to pause new LNG export permits. 🧵
