Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has successfully defended the state's decision to permit an LNG export facility along the Calcasieu Ship Channel. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed a challenge from the Sierra Club, which questioned the legality of these permits.
Murrill expressed satisfaction with the court's decision, stating, "The law is clear, and once again, the hardworking people of Louisiana have been vindicated by the court." She emphasized her commitment to protecting Louisiana's economy and its citizens from what she described as "baseless attacks by environmental activists."
This legal battle is part of a broader context in which Murrill is also involved in challenging federal policies, such as the Biden Administration’s LNG Export Ban.
