signing multiple pardons.

Get serious, there's nothing wrong with Presidents using autopens, once they have made a decision, right or wrong, on all of the documents. Now you know...stop with the thoughtless memes (not holding breath ;-))

That might explain why he didn't know it had happened. Or, I guess it could have just been the dementia. Which would be worse, in your view?

do with "Autopens" being used for multiple signings.

Not completely sure of the context around your LNG comment...but here's a stab at it...from a Google AI search...

AI Overview

To clarify, President Biden did not sign a blanket ban on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exports. Instead, in January 2024, the administration announced a temporary pause on pending decisions for new LNG export permits to countries with which the US does not have a free trade agreement.

The main reasons cited for this pause were:

Climate Change Concerns: The administration highlighted the climate crisis as a major threat and indicated a need to reassess the environmental impacts of increased LNG exports, especially considering the role of methane emissions.

Economic Impacts: The pause was also driven by a need to evaluate potential impacts on domestic energy costs for American consumers and manufacturers, particularly beyond existing authorizations.

National Security: The administration also stated a need to consider the impacts on US energy security.

This temporary pause is intended to allow the Department of Energy to update the underlying economic and environmental analyses used for LNG export authorizations. These analyses had not been significantly updated since 2018, before the substantial increase in US LNG exports. The pause affects proposed projects that are awaiting Department of Energy authorization and planned to reach final investment decisions in 2024. Existing LNG export operations and projects currently under construction are not affected by this pause.

The decision to pause LNG export approvals has been met with mixed reactions. While praised by environmental groups as a step towards addressing climate change and protecting communities, it has faced criticism from the oil and gas industry and some members of Congress who argue it threatens American jobs, energy security, and international energy relations.

Biden had no idea who he pardoned. The autopen was used in a legally questionable way. Very soon, there will be a test of the shoddy procedure used by the Biden administration. Someone who was granted a preemptive pardon by the Biden administration is going to be charged with a felony. Let's hope it is Fauci. All sorts of terrible stuff will come out about the obvious incapacity of that withered husk, Joseph R. Biden. The only pardon that sleepy actually signed was for his son, Hunter...you know, the one he swore he would never issue.

Biden had no idea that he had ordered a freeze on LNG exports. Perhaps the auto pen was used without his knowledge...or maybe he plum forgot because of his obvious inability to perform his duties. By the way, the export ban meant that Europe STILL PAYS MORE MONEY TO RUSSIA FOR NATURAL GAS THAN THEY GIVE OR LEND TO UKRAINE FOR ALL PURPOSES. Geddit? Which explanation of this would reassure you more? That the autopen was used for that order without his consent - Or that Biden suffered from dementia and couldn't recall doing it himself?

"Perhaps", or "maybe"...that's a sure sign it's just your opinion...which invalidates your entire post. Come better prepared next time.

aware of the competing interests (GOP strongly backing the Oil & Gas Industry)...and I've seen video of him explaining his decision on the Pause, which is centered around the long term implications of Climate Change...something the "Get Cash Now" crowd could care less about. Looks like you have no hesitation in making up stories to support your biased view.

Don’t make up stories that can easily be refuted.

source in the future due to CC concerns. The U.S. needs to do the same, and giving our O&G Industry a "Sugar High" with long term contracts to the EU won't help. The SOTH is first a foremost a promoter of that industry, so it's no surprise that he would characterize a non-recorded meeting with Biden...his party's opponent in that upcoming election...that way. Please don't try to tell us "That would NEVER happen".

AI Overview
The future of Russian gas in the EU

The EU is actively working to reduce its reliance on Russian natural gas and diversify its supply sources. Future gas supplies will likely come from a combination of increased liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports, particularly from the US, Qatar, and potentially other sources, and continued pipeline gas from existing suppliers like Norway and North Africa. Additionally, the EU is exploring new partnerships with countries like Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan to secure alternative pipeline routes.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. LNG Diversification:
Increased Imports:
The EU has significantly increased its LNG import capacity and is expected to continue relying on LNG as a major source of gas supply.
Key Suppliers:
The US, Qatar, and potentially other sources are expected to be major LNG suppliers.
Growth in Import Terminals:
EU member states are investing in new LNG import terminals to handle the increased volumes.

2. Pipeline Gas Diversification:
Norway:
Norway is already a significant supplier of pipeline gas to the EU and is expected to remain a key partner.
North Africa:
Pipeline gas from Algeria and potentially other North African countries will continue to play a role.
New Partnerships:
The EU is exploring new pipeline routes through countries like Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan to diversify away from Russia.

3. Reducing Reliance on Russia:
Phase-out Plan:
.
The EU aims to significantly reduce its dependence on Russian gas and is working towards phasing out imports by 2027.
Geopolitical Factors:
.
The war in Ukraine has accelerated the EU's efforts to diversify its energy sources and reduce its reliance on Russia.
4. Future Demand Considerations:
Declining Demand:
.
EU gas demand is projected to decline as the bloc accelerates its transition to renewable energy sources.
Efficiency and Renewables:
.
The EU is also focusing on improving energy efficiency and accelerating the deployment of renewable energy sources to reduce overall gas demand.
5. Long-term Considerations:

Decarbonization:
The EU's long-term goal is to achieve a low-carbon energy system, which will involve a shift away from fossil fuels, including natural gas.

Renewable Hydrogen:
Renewable hydrogen is also seen as a potential future energy source for the EU, further reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Europe reconsiders its energy future

In conclusion, the EU is actively working to diversify its gas supply, reduce its reliance on Russia, and transition to a more sustainable energy future. The combination of LNG diversification, new pipeline partnerships, and a focus on energy efficiency and renewables will shape the EU's future gas supply landscape.
