FERC's approval for Venture Global's plant contradicted the Department of Energy's report, which stated that exporting natural gas increases domestic fuel prices and emissions, impacting Gulf Coast fishing communities.

The Department of Energy reported that large-scale natural gas exports increase domestic prices and are significant greenhouse gas emitters, raising concerns among climate advocates about environmental impacts.
