President Biden is sacrificing American jobs and supporting Vladimir Putin's aggression by pausing U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas abroad, all in the name of climate change. In typical D.C. fashion, the President has refused to look at the facts before threatening our energy infrastructure. Not only is LNG a clean energy source, it is abundantly produced in our own backyard. By cutting off American LNG, we are forcing our allies into the arms of nations with zero environmental regulations. Over the last 2 years, the EU has been forced to import nearly 40 percent more LNG from Russia, directly funding Russian aggression in Ukraine with roughly $21 billion in 2022 alone. If kept intact, our LNG industry is projected to bring up to 452,000 additional jobs to hardworking Americans by 2040, adding $50 billion to $73 billion to our economy. It is time to prioritize the well-being of Americans over the flawed ideologies of the Green New Deal. ____________________
