Rep. Rose Criticizes President Biden for Halting Pending Approvals of Liquefied Natural Gas Export Terminals

WASHINGTON, DC—U.S. Representative John Rose (TN-06) condemned the Biden Administration’s move to halt all pending approvals of liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals on the House Floor Tuesday.

The full remarks, as prepared for delivery, are below:

Mister Speaker, President Biden opened another front in his ongoing war against American energy by halting all pending approvals of liquefied natural gas, or LNG, export terminals based on the so-called “climate crisis.”

When President Biden takes such drastic action to kneecap an American industry like LNG, he paralyzes job growth, innovation, and future sustainability research and development in America.  Instead, he offshores this progress to the Middle East, Russia, or South America, all while raising Americans’ energy bills, fueling inflation, and destroying good-paying American jobs.

President Biden’s job-killing Green New Deal agenda can’t continue. For every woke action he takes, Americans suffer the consequences.

House Republicans are fighting back by passing legislation to grow energy industry jobs and bring back energy independence. We stand firmly on the side of most Americans who prefer an all-of-the-above energy approach in which all forms of energy are pursued.
