Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 7176, the Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act of 2024. This bill is a pivotal piece of legislation that would bolster United States energy security, foster economic growth, and promote environmental sustainability. At its core, this bill would streamline the regulatory process for LNG exports and unleash the full potential of America's abundant natural gas resources. This bill reverses the disastrous Biden administration's extreme liquefied gas export permit ban. I know how much the left loves that word, ``extreme.'' They are the very definition of it. This bill also presents a strategic opportunity for the United States to fortify its energy independence. By facilitating the exportation of LNG, we reduce our reliance on foreign energy sources, mitigate geopolitical risks, and improve U.S. national security. The bill creates new jobs, stimulates investment in energy infrastructure, and fosters innovation across related industries. Increasing LNG exports will expand markets, bolster domestic production, and increase economic growth. This bill would also provide cleaner, more environmentally friendly energy options for our partners and our allies, and it is important that they know where we stand and that they can depend on and trust us during these times. This bill also supports global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while increasing global energy security.…”
