The Louisiana Legislature has adopted a resolution urging the United States Congress to take immediate action to reverse the liquified natural gas (LNG) export pause imposed by the Biden Administration. The resolution emphasizes the critical role that Louisiana plays in LNG production and exportation, highlighting its significant contributions to both the state and national economy. The pause on LNG exports is seen as detrimental not only to Louisiana's economic well-being and job security but also to global energy security, potentially leading to a severe energy shortage worldwide.
The resolution calls for the United States to reaffirm its commitment to energy leadership and environmental stewardship by promoting the use of cleaner energy sources like LNG. It advocates for the necessity of allowing Louisiana's LNG to access global markets, which would help mitigate the risk of an energy crisis affecting billions of people. The resolution will be transmitted to key political figures, including members of the Louisiana congressional delegation and the President, to underscore the urgency of the request and the importance of supporting the LNG industry for both local and global economic growth.
