TEXAS – On Thursday, May 9, Progress Texas will take an in-depth look at Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) operations in Texas, including the Biden Administration’s new export facility pause, the major health risks, environmental damages, and Big Oil and Gas’ real costs of prioritizing profits over people and the climate crisis.
