Below are key excerpts from today’s markup: Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) : “My legislation, the Unlocking our Domestic Energy Potential Act, would ensure that a ban is never again placed on LNG exports. LNG exports unequivocally benefit our economy and domestic prices, and Congress must act to remove the politics from energy exports just as this committee did in 2015 when it lifted the crude oil export ban. The IEA expects global gas demand to reach record highs in the coming years, underscoring the need for new LNG supply, and it must be the United States, not Iran, not Russia, nor any other adversarial country that, that meets that demand and supplies affordable, clean, and abundant energy to the world.” Congressman Richard Hudson (NC-13): “If we want to fuel our nation forward, lower costs for consumers, win the AI race against China, and strengthen our position as an energy superpower. It is critical we have regulatory and statutory processes in place to build infrastructure in this country. This is a race we cannot lose. I urge my colleagues to vote yes on the Improving Interagency Coordination for Pipeline Reviews Act.” Congressman Gabe Evans (CO-08): “The State Planning for Reliability and Affordability Act is a common sense measure that will help incentivize better energy policy in Colorado and across the nation. The bill will help states lower the financial burden that constituents like mine are facing by encouraging states to consider implementing policy that focuses on long term energy reliability, which of course encourages affordability for working class families. Countless folks in my district are working tirelessly, tirelessly to put food on the table and achieve the American dream. But one of the biggest hurdles that my constituents are facing right now is skyrocketing utility costs.” ###
