Japan’s Ongoing Harm in the U.S. Gulf [Op-Ed]
Japan is the primary backer of public and private U.S. LNG export facilities, which have caused significant harm to local fisheries.

Additionally, methane, a key constituent of LNG, is a potent greenhouse gas, 80 times more impactful than carbon dioxide. Leakage from these facilities and throughout the supply chain exacerbates the climate emergency. While the Biden administration's temporary halt on new LNG export authorisations is commendable, more decisive actions are required to address this issue effectively.
