Unlocking Our Domestic Lng Potential Act of 2024

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.

It is deeply troubling to see the Biden administration put party ahead of the country, to put radical views ahead of the common good, to put leftwing fear-mongering ahead of the American people.

Sadly, that is exactly what happened when President Biden halted the permitting of additional liquefied natural gas export facilities.

Let's be clear. This is not a pause. It is the first step of a process to ban outright any future export of LNG--LNG--a form of energy that is under the feet of my constituents.

This was a political decision to pander to the far left that will lead to increased energy prices for American households. It will abandon our allies in their time of need. It will harm family sustaining jobs and relinquish American global energy leadership.

It is time to put a stop to the Biden administration's policies that increase prices for the sake of pandering to the President's political base.

It is critical that we pass the Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act and ensure that liquefied natural gas can continue to support American energy dominance.

Why are we turning our back on American energy?

How can we turn away from American family sustaining jobs?

For what reasons are we turning our allies into the hands of Putin?

Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to join me in passing this legislation.
