"Rep. Mike Johnson Addresses Right-Wing Distraction and Plans to Talk with Rep. Greene"

Rightwing congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has proposed removing Mike Johnson as speaker, citing frustrations over conservative policy wins. Johnson called it a distraction and signaled potential demands to move the long-stalled Ukraine aid package, including provisions to seize Russian assets, make the aid a loan, and roll back Biden's pause on natural gas exports. Meanwhile, US and Israeli officials are expected to discuss alternatives to an offensive against the southern Gaza city of Rafah, and the Biden administration and conservatives clashed over the president's declaration of "Transgender Day of Visibility".

"Political Battles Over U.S. Natural Gas Exports"

President Biden's decision to limit U.S. natural gas exports has sparked a debate, with Republicans criticizing it as a setback for the fight against climate change and Democrats praising it as a win for U.S. consumers. The move has flipped traditional partisan arguments about fossil fuels, highlighting the clash between U.S. energy production and climate pledges. The pause on new gas export permits is likely to freeze new permits for at least 15 months, with the administration emphasizing both climate impact and economic considerations. The debate revolves around the impact on domestic prices, global emissions, and the role of natural gas in the transition to cleaner energy sources.

"White House Freezes New Natural Gas Projects, Facing Industry Backlash and Looming LNG Debacle"

The Biden administration plans to freeze approvals for new natural gas export terminals for up to 15 months while it reviews the permitting process, aiming to assess the industry's impact on climate change and environmental effects on local communities. This move could affect the fast-growing natural gas export business and clash with some of the president's foreign policy priorities. The review would not interrupt existing LNG export plants but would put a hold on new permits for additional projects, drawing criticism from the industry and environmental groups while signaling a shift in U.S. energy policy.

Biden's Approval of Alaska Gas Exports Sparks Climate Concerns

The Biden administration has approved exports of liquefied natural gas from the Alaska LNG project, a move criticized by environmental groups as another "carbon bomb". The project, which was first approved by the Trump administration, is expected to be operational by 2030. The Biden administration is trying to approve more US LNG exports as it competes with Russia, but critics say the Ukraine conflict is a "false justification" for a rush to natural gas. The approval of the project cleared the way for additional lawsuits seeking to stop the project.
