"Court Rejects Greens’ Challenge To Texas Natural Gas Export Project"

"A federal court has rejected a challenge to a major liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal in Texas.

In its Tuesday decision, the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the Department of Energy (DOE) conducted the necessary environmental and economic reviews before it approved the Freeport LNG export terminal project.

The Sierra Club had challenged DOE’s review of the project, saying the agency didn’t comply with federal environmental laws before approving the Freeport terminal in 2014, and that its determination that the terminal is in the “public interest” was flawed."
