Congressman Weber Speaks Out Against Biden’s LNG Export Policy

Date: April 8, 2024 Randy K. Weber

Representative Randy Weber, hailing from a district at the heart of America’s energy sector, has openly criticized President Biden’s recent policy to stop new approvals for LNG (liquefied natural gas) exports. The Congressman’s comments come at a critical time when the energy industry is navigating through complex international dynamics and facing domestic uncertainty.

According to Weber, the decision to halt LNG export approvals not only threatens the livelihoods of thousands who are directly and indirectly employed by the LNG sector but also puts at stake billions in investments earmarked for future projects. His statements underline a significant concern that this policy could have far-reaching effects, potentially stunting the growth of the LNG industry within the United States.

More so, Congressman Weber asserts that this move by the Biden administration could undermine national energy security. At a time when global energy markets are incredibly volatile, ensuring a stable and reliable energy supply is paramount. The policy, Weber argues, could also strain relations with international allies who depend on the U.S. for their LNG supplies, further compounding the geopolitical implications of this decision.
