IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

Monitor for patterns of regulatory capture in energy sector approvals, but this individual decision requires no constitutional concern. Standard administrative process functioning normally.

Why This Score

Routine DOE approval of LNG export facility. A-score: Minimal capture concern (1/5) as energy policy decisions involve industry interests, but this is standard regulatory process. Single-state scope reduces modifier to 0.7. Final A=0.98. B-score: Low novelty/media interest in technical energy approval. Final B=1.1. Both scores well below 25 threshold. No constitutional mechanism engaged. Classic administrative noise - routine regulatory approval with no democratic/constitutional implications.
