Washington, D.C. — House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Energy, Climate, and Grid Security Subcommittee Chair Jeff Duncan (R-SC) today announced a subcommittee hearing titled “Politics Over People: How Biden’s LNG Export Ban Threatens America’s Energy and Economic Security.” 

“The Biden administration’s indefinite ‘pause’ on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports jeopardizes American energy security, jobs, and the economy. This latest attack on energy production is a political decision to appease radical climate activists at the expense of our energy security and the security of our allies. If President Biden were serious about environmental stewardship, he would unleash the production and export of clean, affordable, and reliable American natural gas—which has allowed us to reduce emissions more than any other nation,” said Chairs Rodgers and Duncan. “This hearing will be an opportunity to explore the many benefits of American LNG not only for the U.S., but for our allies as well.”
