This is why Amigo LNG is the wrong fit for the Gulf of California.

Calling the decision a major step forward, project opponents hail the end of one of three major liquefied natural gas terminals threatening the iconic biodiversity of the Gulf of California.

Stymied by financial, legal, and operational obstacles, Mexico Pacific requests an extension to 2032 to reboot its destructive LNG project in the iconic Gulf of California.

NRDC releases informational cards that seek to hold the LNG industry in the U.S. accountable.

Fossil fuel build-out threatens climate goals, marine biodiversity, and coastal communities. 

A massive project falters under the weight of high-cost, low-demand LNG and growing condemnation of the risks to the region’s biodiversity.

Teeming with unique sea creatures, the Gulf of California is a refuge we can’t afford to sacrifice to the oil and gas industry. 

NRDC calls massive Saguaro LNG project in Gulf of California a transformational threat to biodiversity, an acceleration in the global tragedy of climate change.

NRDC provides key recommendations that the U.S. Department of Energy should consider as it updates the studies it uses to review LNG export applications.

Not long after the administration’s pause on permits, the fossil fuel industry—and its supporters in Congress—pulled out all the stops to oppose the decision and spread misinformation. 

Biden DOE’s pause on LNG exports represents forward movement from an Environmental Justice lens, but must be met with real reform.

BOEM's offshore oil and gas lease sale offered nearly 73 million acres in the Gulf of Mexico to the fossil fuel industry.

2023 had the potential to be a banner year for gas and LNG reform. Sadly, U.S. regulators failed to meet the moment.

Liquefied natural gas should be phased out in tandem with other fossil fuels, paving the way for renewable energy to meet international climate and sustainable development goals.

New offshore leasing proposed by BOEM would cause unacceptable harm to our climate, ocean, and Gulf communities. But agency reforms can help lessen the impacts.

The region's communities and marine life will continue to be exposed to the catastrophic risk and ongoing damage of these inherently hazardous industrial operations at sea.

BOEM's proposed rule falls short in requiring oil and gas companies to demonstrate they are financially able to fully remove and clean up platforms & pipelines.

A decade-long expansion of U.S. liquefied natural gas export terminals has transformed American energy policy.
