WASHINGTON  – The American Gas Association’s President and CEO Karen Harbert released the following statement in response to the Biden Administration’s pre-Christmas release of their report on American LNG:  

“The Biden Administration’s pause on American LNG exports was a mistake that resulted in uncertainty for the market, for investors, and for America’s allies around the world,” said AGA President and CEO Karen Harbert. “This report is a clear and inexplicable attempt to justify their grave policy error. America’s allies are suffering from the weaponization of natural gas and energy deprivation and any limitations on supplying life essential energy is absolutely wrong-headed. We look forward to working with the incoming administration to rectify the glaring issues with this study during the public comment period.” 

“America’s abundant natural gas resources underpin our country’s energy security and has become vital for our and our allies’ national security,” continued Harbert. “The contribution of U.S. natural gas to driving down emissions in this country and the potential for lowering global emissions is unquestioned. The key to unlocking these affordable energy supplies is to ensure we can site, construct, and operate new energy infrastructure in a timely manner to bring energy from where it’s produced to where it is needed to support our families, our businesses and our allies.”
