Unfortunately, House Republicans appear more interested in weakening existing environmental protections.

When a company wants to export liquefied natural gas, LNG, it has to submit an application with the Department of Energy. For the export to countries with a free trade agreement with the U.S., the DOE must grant the applications without…

Congress has the authority under the Constitution and responsibility to address risks from pollution.
