In a May 7 joint letter, 10 attorneys general of mostly Democratic states and Washington, D.C. want the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to halt approvals of all new and pending natural gas pipelines, liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities, and related fossil-fuel infrastructure projects until the COVID-19 crisis ends because of pandemic impacts on "due process rights."
The letter to FERC Chairman Neil Chatterjee follows one sent to him last month by 30 Democratic House members.
