Description (excerpt):
In January, President Biden announced a pause on pending decisions for increased liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.The pause affects countries that do not have a free trade agreement with the United States, which are where most LNG exports go.
“The economic, environmental, and national security reasons for expanding LNG exports are strong. Restricting LNG exports will reduce economic growth and job creation, while increasing exports would help America’s European allies end their dependence on dirtier Russian gas. More fundamentally, the Biden administration is politicizing a decision that should be left to the market. The administration should end the pause immediately, and Congress should remove the federal authority
to make national interest determinations for LNG exports.”
