FERC moves to ease gas approvals

Federal energy regulators have proposed streamlining the approval process for expanding natural gas export facilities, aiming to reduce delays in project development. The move would shorten the period for public notice and comments, potentially accelerating construction of new export terminals. Critics argue the changes could limit opportunities for public input on environmental and infrastructure impacts. The proposal marks a shift toward faster permitting for gas infrastructure amid rising global energy demand.
