On the recordNovember 20, 2025
I will mention to my colleagues on the other side that the Biden administration did not ban LNG exports. There was a pause because they were concerned about the public interest, in particular, because the price was increasing for power, for natural gas, and so many other things. It made sense to take a review and see what that meant for price, what that meant for national security, what that meant for the environment and climate. The reality is that the amount of natural gas permits and LNG permits continue to rise and rise every day. This idea that somehow they banned it is simply not the case.
