Regulator OKs some construction at Louisiana gas export terminal
The developer of a large gas export terminal in Louisiana can move ahead with a limited set of construction activities, federal regulators said Friday, a week after they reaffirmed the project's authorization.
Venture Global can proceed with a handful of activities tied to the company's CP2 LNG project planned in the southwest part of the state, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said in a brief letter signed by an official in the agency's gas branch.
Those activities include the construction of temporary facilities, like access roads and parking areas, as well as site preparation and the installation of water wells, the letter said.

The approval, or 'limited notice to proceed with construction,' does not give CP2 'the authority to construct other project facilities at the LNG terminal,' it continued. A separate letter from the commission's LNG branch, also issued Friday, said Venture Global could start on construction activities tied to a storm surge wall.

"This is a defining moment for the Cultural District and Downtown Revitalization Vision—made possible by immense generosity and leadership from philanthropic and civic partners." "Pittsburgh's first Renaissance officially began 75 years ago, in May 1950. Then, and ever since, the Richard King Mellon Foundation has helped to lead Pittsburgh's ongoing strategies to achieve greater prosperity for the people of our beloved city," said Sam Reiman, Director of the Richard King Mellon Foundation.

Rockies make unfortunate history with 50th loss of season
The Colorado Rockies made awful history on Sunday with a 5-3 loss to the New York Mets. With the defeat, the Rockies fell to 9-50 on the season. Colorado became the first team in MLB to hit 50 losses this season and entered a league of its own when it comes to baseball futility. The Rockies have the worst record in 59 games of any major league team in modern baseball (since 1901). The team has been swept 10 times in 20 series, tied for the most sweeps through 20 series with the 1962 Mets, the 1970 Milwaukee Brewers and the 1994 Oakland Athletics. USA Today noted the Rockies have played the most games without earning their 10th win, with only four teams in the sport's history having played 55 games or more games before winning at least 10. Those teams include the 1985 Louisville Colonels, 1886 Washington Nationals, 1899 Cleveland Spiders and the 1904 Washington Senators. The Mets won Sunday's game, 5-3, behind Pete Alonso's three-run home run and Francisco Lindor's go-ahead homer. Juan Soto also added a dinger to his stat sheet. The team regained sole possession of first place in the National League East. The team has won the last 26 games in which Lindor has homered. It's the second-longest streak of its kind since the Brooklyn Dodgers' 29 consecutive wins when Carl Furillo hit a home run from 1951 to 1953. The Rockies' season isn't getting any easier after already firing Bud Black in May. The team continues its road trip on Monday against the Miami Marlins. The team welcomes the Mets and San Francisco Giants to town once the club returns to Denver. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
