HEAT leaders applaud federal court decision blocking President Biden's natural gas export ban

Jul. 2—WASHINGTON, D.C. RSC House Energy Action Team (HEAT) Chairman Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), and RSC Chairman Kevin Hern (R-OK) released the following statement after a federal judge blocked President Biden's ban on new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals:

"We are glad that the courts agree that the Biden Administration violated the Natural Gas Act with a politically motivated attack on American energy producers. DOE must expeditiously approve the several projects sitting before them. Furthermore, the Senate should immediately take up the bipartisan House-passed H.R. 7176, the Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act of 2024, to ensure that no administration can again block LNG exports."
