“The Biden administration continues to send mixed messaging on whether it supports reliable, sustainable, and affordable energy resources, like natural gas. At a time of great global uncertainty, for America to not be sitting at the head of the global energy table is dangerous. My legislation would change that. We have abundant energy resources right here in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays here in Ohio and across the country. We have the opportunity to lead on the world stage as a global provider of clean and abundant U.S. natural gas. If other countries can rely on America for their energy, they can rely less on cruel, energy-rich dictators like Vladimir Putin. Additionally, good energy policy based on good old fashion American ingenuity and innovation is also good climate policy. Expanding American liquified natural gas exports results in massive global carbon emissions reductions. It is past time that we cut the red tape surrounding the natural gas export permitting process, and unleash homegrown American energy,” said Rep. Bill Johnson.
