Key Leaders & Groups Urge Biden Administration To Deny Pending Deepwater Port Fossil Fuel Export Facilities Proposed export facilities would accommodate the global export of massive quantities of crude oil on shipping vessels known as Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs)

Today, a coalition of local, regional and national environmental and community groups sent a letter to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas urging them to take necessary action to stop several deepwater port terminals proposed throughout the Gulf of Mexico off the Texas and Louisiana coasts. If built, these terminals would drive the global export of massive quantities of domestically-extracted crude oil on shipping vessels known as Very Large Crude Carriers (“VLCCs”), each as large as the Empire State Building.
