        LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS IS CLEAN, AFFORDABLE, AND RELIABLE

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in staunch 
opposition to President Biden's ban on liquefied natural gas export 
projects.
  Under the guise of a pause, President Biden has taken complete 
control of an important piece of the American energy sector.
  Do not be fooled. This is, in fact, a ban on LNG exports and a 
massive gift to Putin.
  Our European allies are desperately seeking American energy to 
counter Russia's weaponization of its natural gas exports. But instead 
of being the leader Americans in the rest of the world need, he is 
being the puppet that far-left climate activists want.
  If President Biden were serious about his rush-to-green agenda, he 
would unleash the production and export of clean, affordable, and 
reliable American LNG, which has roughly 40 percent lower life-cycle 
emissions than Russian LNG.
  Mr. Speaker, these policies are entirely out of touch and widely 
unpopular.
  We should be diverting our attention to fixing the economy, solving 
the question of the national debt, closing our southern border, and 
aiding our ally, Israel. This White House needs to get its priorities 
in order. It is causing the American people to suffer.
