| Hello John, This past weekend, I took a break from tailgating to share about a new bill that would unleash American energy abundance.
If passed, the Unlocking Our Domestic LNG Potential Act of 2025 would streamline the process for producing, importing, and exporting liquid natural gas, thereby expanding America’s access to global energy markets.
Here’s the problem as it stands: Currently, liquid natural gas projects need approval from both the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Department of Energy.
Two different agencies mean twice the bureaucracy, leading to delays that drag on for months or even years. American families shouldn’t have to pay the price for Washington’s dysfunction.
It’s like having to go to the DMV and then city hall to register the same car — each with different forms, different rules, and different wait times. Meanwhile, your car sits in the driveway because two agencies can’t get on the same page.
Here’s what the bill fixes: The DOE would have exclusive jurisdiction over approving or denying applications for the siting, construction, operation, or expansion of a facility to export or import natural gas. Cutting red tape speeds up development and helps lower energy prices by increasing supply.
- ✅ Lower energy costs & reliable power: Liquefied natural gas is a stable fuel source that keeps the grid running — even when wind and solar can’t. That means fewer blackouts and protection from costly disruptions.
- ✅ Energy security & economic stability: Boosting domestic production reduces reliance on foreign energy and shields families from global price spikes, like those caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
- ✅ Global leadership = stronger economy: More LNG exports mean more American jobs and stronger local economies — while helping our allies reduce dependence on hostile nations.
