These are not the folks you want to... [Energy and Capital Header] Practical Investment Analysis for the New Energy Economy What Bidenâs Natural Gas Mandate Means for Investors Jeff Siegel | Feb 02, 2024 He says itâs because of climate change. But the real reason President Biden recently announced a pause in approvals for new natural gas export facilities is politics. This is just a little more than a fig leaf for environmentalists who think we can just flip a switch and run the entire planet on clean energy. While Iâm easily the biggest renewable energy bull here at Energy & Capital, Iâm also not so naive to believe that we can just magically, overnight, start running our cars, buildings, and entire digital infrastructure on sunshine and rainbows. Biden knows this, too. But with approval ratings in the gutter, heâs going to reach for anything he can. Make no mistake: if Biden wins the next election, new approvals for natural gas export facilities will miraculously reappear. But this is still a very dangerous game to play. And quite frankly, could end up increasing carbon emissions instead of shrinking them. [$34,200 Retirement Handout Starts on FEBRUARY 20th.]( There isnât much time to waste...

So if the U.S. canât keep pace with natural gas demand in other parts of the world because the Biden administration is âpausingâ approvals for new natural gas export facilities, theyâll take their business elsewhere. And âelsewhereâ is a pit of pollution, secured by dictators who not only have no interest in hearing the concerns of environmentalists, but are also more than happy to make them disappear. These are not the folks you want to enrich by enabling them to produce and sell more natural gas. And while I realize that Biden is just pandering to environmentalists on this one, the fallout from this could result in more environmental damage, not less. [URGENT: This Parcel of Land Could Gift You Half a Million Dollars]( [JMT Buried Under the Land Image](In a remote corner of North America, a team of geologists and explorers just found something truly amazing. Mining experts call it the last GREAT gold discovery on Earth. And if you invest in the tiny firm that owns this land â before Big Tech and Wall Street investors catch wind of it... You could turn $10,000 into over $500,000! [Get the lowdown on this urgent gold opportunity right now.]( Consider again, Russia picking up additional market share because the U.S. canât, or wonât, keep pace with demand. Russiaâs oil and gas assets release more methane emissions than any other oil and gas-producing country in the world.   There was also an investigation a couple years ago that showed a number of Russian oil companies dumping millions of tons of drilling waste into rivers that flow into the Arctic Ocean. And apparently, this is common practice. Environmentalists supporting Bidenâs decision on this really have no clue as to how important it is for the U.S. to be the primary source of LNG exports in the world. This is true for investors, too. Certainly weâve seen proof of this over the past decade or so following the rebirth of Americaâs oil and gas industry. And this continues to be a major source of wealth for Energy & Capital readers, too. In fact, we recently sent you a new report from our in-house oil & gas expert, Keith Kohl, who provides [some very convincing intel](that weâre about to enter another 10-year bull market in oil, with prices creeping back up over $100 a barrel and staying there for the foreseeable future. You can [download that report here.]( The way I see it, one of the best ways to ensure a reasonable level of environmental sustainability is to do everything we can to ensure that the lionâs share of natural gas exports comes from the U.S.  And if we can make a few bucks along the way, even better.
