Unlocking Our Domestic Lng Potential Act of 2024

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding.

I thank Congressman Pfluger for introducing this important legislation that I am proud to cosponsor.

I rise in support of H.R. 7176, which will streamline LNG export authorizations and put our Nation back on track toward energy dominance.

This bill would put downward pressure on global natural gas markets and expand economic opportunities across the country. We are blessed with abundant natural resources that create jobs, lower costs for Americans, and advance our national security interests abroad.

Unfortunately, since day one, the Biden administration has led our Nation into an energy crisis of their own making. President Biden's latest LNG export ban is nothing more than a political stunt to appease far-left activists.

Hoosiers watching at home won't be fooled by false claims of environmental stewardship. American LNG is the cleanest form of natural gas available and has allowed the U.S. to lead the world in emissions reductions.

Mr. Speaker, it is way past time this administration paid attention to the experts and not the radical environmentalists.
