The Biden administration has approved construction of a deepwater oil export terminal off the Texas coast that would be the largest of its kind in the United States
FILE - An oil tanker passes along a channel, March 2, 2022, in Port Aransas, Texas. President Joe Biden's administration has approved construction of The Sea Port Oil Terminal, a deepwater oil export terminal off the Texas coast that would be the largest of its kind in the United States. Environmentalists called the move a betrayal of Biden’s climate agenda and said would lead to planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to nearly 90 coal fired-power plants.
“Nothing about this project is in alignment with President Biden’s climate and environmental justice goals,'' said Kelsey Crane, senior policy advocate at Earthworks, an environmental group that has long opposed the export terminal. “While the Biden-Harris administration is accelerating America’s transition to a clean energy future, action is also being taken to manage the transition in the near term,'' said the agency, which is nicknamed MARAD.
“Approving the Sea Port Oil Terminal after pausing LNG exports is not just bad news for our climate, it’s incoherent politics,'' DiPaola said. Biden “can’t claim to be a climate leader one day and then turn around and grant a massive handout to the oil industry the next. It’s time for President Biden to listen to the overwhelming majority of voters who want to see a shift away from fossil fuels, not a doubling down on dirty and deadly energy projects.
Enterprise, which produces oil, natural gas and petrochemicals, hailed the oil project's approval and said the terminal will provide “a more environmentally friendly, safe, efficient and cost-effective way to deliver crude oil to global markets.''
