The Lens
Against this backdrop of climate-driven extreme weather, a recent federal court ruling has allowed a controversial natural gas project to move forward.
The court’s decision puts the Delfin LNG deepwater export terminal one step closer to construction, which is extremely troubling because Louisiana has a higher-than-average climate risk.
Some protected marine species could be harmed by the construction and operation of the Delfin LNG deepwater port, advocates say.
We still believe that the Delfin terminal should not be built.
By fast-tracking Delfin LNG, the Trump administration is putting profits above people and many other things we hold dear.
