On July 2, 2024, the RSC House Energy Action Team (HEAT) Chairman Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX) and RSC Chairman Kevin Hern (R-OK) issued a statement following a federal judge's decision to block 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," stated Rep. Pfluger and Rep. Hern.
