US House to vote on overturning Biden’s freeze on natural gas exports
The US House of Representatives, next week, will decide whether to cancel the Biden administration’s temporary block on approving the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG)
This decision was announced by Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the leader of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, during an interview.
On Friday, the White House declared a pause in granting new licenses for exporting LNG. This decision is driven by a desire to thoroughly examine the impact of such shipments on climate change, the economy, and national security. This temporary halt is expected to create disruptions in planned multi-billion-dollar developments.
“We do have legislation to lift the ban on LNG,” Rodgers said. “It addresses barriers to exports right now.”
Climate activists and others are pushing harder to stop the building of new, expensive (LNG) export terminals.
They argue that constructing these terminals will make the world continue relying on natural gas for a longer time, discouraging the adoption of cleaner alternatives.
