President Joe Biden’s pause on approvals for pending liquefied natural gas export terminals Friday was met with deeply divided responses, earning praise from Democrats and environmental groups while sparking fierce backlash from Republicans and industry groups.

Biden, for his part, said in a statement that the pause “sees the climate crisis for what it is: the existential threat of our time.”

Here’s an early look at the winners and losers from the project pause:

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the Biden administration and a pipeline company Friday.

A three-judge panel unanimously approved the construction of an over 300-mile-long natural gas pipeline, known as the Mountain Valley Pipeline, set to run through parts of Virginia and West Virginia. It has a capacity of 2 billion cubic feet per day and is already over 94% completed. It has been on pause due to ongoing litigation.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) abruptly canceled a committee vote Wednesday to advance President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Department of Energy efficiency office, citing concerns over the candidate's support for the agency's proposed appliance efficiency standards, which could take half of all gas stoves off the market.

Manchin, who chairs the Senate Environment and Natural Resources Committee, had previously supported the nomination of Jeff Marootian to lead DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, or EERE.

The Environmental Protection Agency’s new rules for natural gas and coal-fired power plants are aimed at eliminating nearly all of their carbon emissions by 2040, but those who provide and distribute the nation’s power say it will undermine the grid by forcing plants that generate most of the nation’s electricity to shut down or use less reliable green sources. 

The government actually is coming for your gas stove.

New York's new state budget includes a provision banning gas stoves in new residential construction. CNN reports that only electric stoves will be allowed in buildings under seven stories by 2026 and taller buildings by 2029.

The policy is the latest successful attack on an appliance used and cherished by millions of Americans.

New York, beginning in 2026, will prohibit gas stoves and heating systems for new construction of buildings seven stories or less, according to reports.

The Associated Press reported that a law negotiated between New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, and fellow party members in the legislature is included in the state budget. The legislation also gives the Empire State a head start in the race among several states looking to pass similar bans they say are intended to reduce emissions from buildings.

New York lawmakers passed a state budget Tuesday that bars the use of natural gas in new residential buildings, the first such law in the nation.

The provision will take effect in 2026 for buildings seven stories and shorter and in 2029 for all other buildings. Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is expected to sign it into law.

New York State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D) praised the budget and called it essential to achieving the goals of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), a 2019 climate law that sets a target of cutting emissions by 40 percent by 2030.

Under pressure from environmentalists, New York lawmakers on Tuesday made their state the first in the nation to ban the use of natural gas and other fossil fuels for heating and cooking in most new buildings.

Exxon Mobil Corp. has held preliminary talks with Pioneer Natural Resources Co. about a possible acquisition of the U.S. fracking giant, as the oil major hunts for a blockbuster deal in the shale patch, according to people familiar with the matter.
