"Dimon Criticizes Proposal to Halt Oil and Gas as 'Enormously Naïve'"

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon criticized US delays of liquefied natural gas projects, calling it "enormously naïve" to stop oil and gas projects. Dimon touted replacing coal with natural gas as a way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and emphasized the economic and geopolitical advantages of US LNG exports. His comments come amid President Biden's permitting freeze on new LNG projects, with the White House highlighting record oil and gas production alongside investments in cleaner energy sources.
