Two lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration because of the new rules permitting liquefied natural gas (LNG) to be transported by railroad, according to Kallanish Energy.
Both suits contend that such LNG shipments by rail pose an unacceptable safety threat to communities.
One suit was filed by attorney generals from California, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and the District of Columbia.
The other suit was filed by Earthjustice on behalf of the Sierra Club, the Center for Biological Diversity, the Delaware Riverkeeper, the Clean Air Council, the Environmental Confederation of Southwest Florida and the Mountain Watershed Alliance.
