"Maturity hardly comes to mind in today’s culture war. But political necessity is an unstoppable force.

If the entire policy is predicated on the importance of slowing global emissions, it's only fair to expect the federal government to show its work and prove that reducing the growth of American LNG exports actually will reduce global emissions."
