                    REVERSE COURSE ON LNG EXPORT BAN

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise in support of H.R. 7176, the 
Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act.
  The bill is simple. It would repeal President Biden's ban on 
liquefied natural gas, or LNG, exports. By passing H.R. 7176, we would 
strengthen our struggling economy, further U.S. leadership in reducing 
emissions, and increase the energy security of the United States and 
our allies.
  Green New Deal activists shouldn't be driving America's energy 
policy, especially at the White House. Restricting LNG exports will 
mean higher prices at home for Americans as it reduces the amount of 
worldwide output, putting upward pressure on prices for energy and all 
related goods. It also decreases investment in infrastructure and good-
paying American jobs.
  Mr. Speaker, we must reverse course on this disastrous decision. 
Americans are already paying too much at the pump, the grocery store, 
and everywhere else. We must restore America's energy independence from 
foreign energy producers.
