Nearly 150 state and local chambers from 35 states joined the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in a letter to the Department of Energy—urging the Biden Administration to reverse its recent decision to indefinitely ban new LNG export licenses.
"America continues to lead the world in emissions reductions. With innovation and ambitious commitments from U.S. energy producers to reduce methane emissions throughout the value chain, the environmental footprint of natural gas is getting cleaner still. We should export this environmental success story around the world, not block it. Creating uncertainty for new LNG exports sends the wrong signals to energy markets and will have a chilling effect on the financing, investment and business environment for the broader natural gas industry. This permitting freeze jeopardizes global energy security, the economy, and global climate progress, all of which are vital to our nation and our partners abroad. It’s in the public interest to reverse course, lift the moratorium, and again enable free enterprise to deliver for our citizens and the world."
