The administration has "altered the official federal policy on approving new interstate natural gas facilities and pipelines, requiring a climate consideration", according to The Daily Signal. 

Biden's cabinet prompted the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to begin to "undertake a robust consideration" of the environmental impacts of fossil fuel projects seeking approval in the United States.

Meanwhile, oil continues its ascent to $100/barrel. 

The agency said that projects that cause 100,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year will be recognized as having a "significant impact" on the environment. It also said that, during the approval process it may now "consider the eventual emissions caused by both upstream production and eventual burning of gas transported in a pipeline requiring approval."
