The Louisiana Legislature has adopted a resolution urging the United States Congress to take immediate action to reverse the Biden Administration's pause on liquified natural gas (LNG) exports. The resolution emphasizes Louisiana's vital role in LNG production and exportation, highlighting the economic implications of the export pause, which threatens both local jobs and global energy security. It argues that LNG is essential for providing a reliable and cleaner energy source, and that resuming exports is crucial for maintaining the United States' leadership in energy reliability and environmental stewardship.
The resolution calls for a united stance from the Louisiana Legislature in support of the LNG industry, advocating for energy security, environmental sustainability, and economic growth. It requests that copies of the resolution be sent to key political figures, including the Speaker of the House and the President of the United States, to underscore the urgency of the matter and the need for prompt action to avert a potential global energy crisis.
