NCLC submitted a letter to U.S. DOE regarding the need to consider local consumer impacts when reviewing gas export facilities, focusing on Pennsylvania gas markets and consumers. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports increase the price that Pennsylvania consumers pay for gas – as well as for electricity generated from gas – by tying that price to more volatile and costly global gas markets. Increased gas exports overseas can have a negative impact on energy affordability for retail consumers at home, especially for low and moderate income families, affordable housing providers, and small businesses who already struggle to keep up with the rapidly rising cost of energy. This harm is preventable.
