Introducing “Natural Gas Exports: Washington’s Revolving Door Fuels Climate Threat” | DeSmogBlog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DeSmogBlog’s Steve Horn<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Republic Report’s Lee Fang<\/a>\u00a0have co-written an in-depth report on the influence thegovernment-industry revolving door<\/a>\u00a0has had on Big Oil’s ability to obtain four\u00a0liquefied natural gas (LNG<\/span>)<\/a>\u00a0export permits since 2012 from the Obama\u00a0Administration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Titled \u201cNatural Gas Exports: Washington’s Revolving Door Fuels Climate Threat<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d the report\u00a0published here on DeSmogBlog<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0on Republic Report<\/a>\u00a0serves as the launching pad of an ongoing investigation. It will act as the prelude of an extensive series of articles by both websites uncovering the\u00a0LNG<\/span>\u00a0exports influence peddling\u00a0machine.<\/p>\n

The report not only exposes the lobbying apparatus that has successfully opened the door for\u00a0LNG<\/span>\u00a0exports, but also the\u00a0PR<\/span>\u00a0professionals paid to sell them to the\u00a0U.S.<\/span>public. It also exposes those who have gone through the \u201creverse revolving door<\/a>,\u201d moving from industry back to government and sometimes back\u00a0again.<\/p>\n

It reveals that many former Obama Administration officials now work as lobbyists or\u00a0PR<\/span>\u00a0professionals on behalf of the\u00a0LNG<\/span>\u00a0exports industry, as do many former Bush Administration officials. So too do those with ties to potential 2016 Democratic Party presidential nominee, Hillary\u00a0Clinton.<\/p>\n
