Liquefied Natural Gas is Clean, Affordable, and Reliable

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in staunch opposition to President Biden's ban on liquefied natural gas export projects.

Under the guise of a pause, President Biden has taken complete control of an important piece of the American energy sector.

Do not be fooled. This is, in fact, a ban on LNG exports and a massive gift to Putin.

Our European allies are desperately seeking American energy to counter Russia's weaponization of its natural gas exports. But instead of being the leader Americans in the rest of the world need, he is being the puppet that far-left climate activists want.

If President Biden were serious about his rush-to-green agenda, he would unleash the production and export of clean, affordable, and reliable American LNG, which has roughly 40 percent lower life-cycle emissions than Russian LNG.

Mr. Speaker, these policies are entirely out of touch and widely unpopular.

We should be diverting our attention to fixing the economy, solving the question of the national debt, closing our southern border, and aiding our ally, Israel. This White House needs to get its priorities in order. It is causing the American people to suffer.
