President Biden's decision to halt new Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) exports has sparked significant controversy, with critics labeling the move as politically motivated rather than based on environmental or scientific considerations. The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal have criticized the decision, with the latter calling it 'Biden's Worst Energy Decision,' and the former stating it's "a win for political symbolism, not the climate." Over 130 local and state Chambers of Commerce have expressed agreement with this sentiment. Critics, including Rep. Jeff Duncan and other members of the House Commerce Committee, argue that the ban endangers the American way of life, threatens jobs, energy security, and economic prosperity, and must be reversed immediately. In response to the ban, the House Energy, Climate and Grid Subcommittee is conducting a field hearing in Port Arthur, Texas, to discuss the potential economic impacts on the local community. The hearing aims to gather insights from community leaders on the importance of LNG exports to their communities.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the Biden admin.’s decision to ban LNG exports will hurt our economy and cut jobs. This move must be reversed immediately, and we must implement an all-of-the-above energy strategy to become North American energy independent. https://t.co/QzThU5YQzJ

Biden’s January #LNG export ban hurt American energy producers and cut income for American farmers who lease their land to producers who harvest the vast natural resources on their land. It’s time to unleash American #energy and support American #farmers. https://t.co/p1MQ4f61eh
