Description (excerpt):
“Congress must make proper investments in infrastructure and effectively reform regulations to aid in the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG),” said U.S Representative Ted Yoho (R-FL-03). “The current permitting process for LNG export facilities is expensive, and small-scale projects often are not cost-effective under current conditions. Reducing the time and investment required for small-scale exports will benefit U.S. production, manufacturing, and create construction jobs while also reducing trade deficits with importing countries.
”In March 2019, Rep. Yoho introduced the Small Scale LNG Access Act of 2019 (H.R. 1836). For an OurEnergyPolicy (OEP) discussion, he asked what the legislative branch can do to streamline and increase efficiencies within the LNG industry and what concerns or issues should be taken into account. The OEP community of energy professionals weighed in. This document features detailed excerpts from that discussion (with bold added for emphasis).
