A bipartisan group of over 50 House lawmakers are urging the Biden administration to lift the pause on new LNG export permits, arguing that the policy is hindering U.S. energy production and harming the economy. The lawmakers, led by House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, argue that the policy is counterproductive and has been blocked by the courts. They are joined by Democrats who also support increasing LNG production and exports. The letter comes after a federal judge ordered the Department of Energy to lift the pause, which was implemented in January 2023.
