Today, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer expressed his views on a recent study by the U.S. Department of Energy regarding liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. Chairman Comer criticized the Biden Administration's approach to energy policy.
Comer stated, "For four years, the Biden Administration weaponized the power of the executive branch to wage a whole-of-government war against American-made energy production." He further described the LNG study as "a Hail Mary political effort to advance radical, far-left energy policies and cement Green New Deal priorities."
During the 118th Congress, Comer highlighted what he sees as negative impacts of the administration's energy policies. He said these policies have "stifled domestic energy development, overloaded America’s power grid, and raised energy costs on American consumers and businesses."
Looking forward, Comer emphasized that "the Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans will advance policies next year that unleash American energy production and strengthen an industry that provides good-paying job opportunities for all Americans."
