LNG Daily [subscription required] reports that FERC and the State of Delaware presented oral arguments to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit regarding FERC’s conditional approval of the proposed Crown Landing LNG terminal. Attorneys representing Delaware argued that the approval was granted improperly as Delaware had not issued required environmental permits, while FERC noted that the Energy Policy Act of 2005 gave the agency the authority to condition final approval of a project on rece ipt of all required state permits.
