Perils of Proceduralism
Brought to you by
Please join the CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program for a discussion of the economic and geopolitical implications of permitting challenges facing energy infrastructure in the United States.
In the past decade, the United States has become a significant exporter of energy and is now the world’s top exporter of liquified natural gas (LNG) and a significant player in global energy security. Those outcomes were enabled by significant investment in the infrastructure necessary to carry and export LNG. In a recent development, an LNG export project had permits rescinded due to procedural missteps by the regulator, which could delay construction and time to market in meaningful ways. This, along with other permitting debates, raises questions for energy importers and global markets about the predictability of U.S. energy exports. This discussion will examine the issues at hand and the implications for international markets.
