The Democratic party consists of radicals/absolutists, and pragmatists. Generally, the pragmatists are in control and win the day.

Biden needs the climate left to get re-elected. So, he has to bow in their general direction now and then to keep their enthusiastic support. Yes, politicians need to play politics to get elected.

My expectation is that Biden will appease the climate left with this pause and study. And that study will show that the world needs natural gas in plentiful supply in order to transition from dirtier fossil fuels to clean energy sources, and the pause will be lifted.

The article I linked indicated only a small number of projects will be impacted.
