Dozens of Senate Republicans warn Biden's latest war on energy empowers America's enemies
Fox News
FIRST ON FOX: A group of 25 Republicans in the Senate blasted the Biden administration for taking action to restrict U.S. natural gas exports, a move they say empowers Russia.
Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"American LNG exports have enhanced our geopolitical influence and international energy security across the board since 2016," the Republicans wrote in a letter to President Biden and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. "In addition to Europe, U.S. LNG has a significant impact on energy security in Asia. Japan and South Korea have been the top two destinations for importing U.S. LNG. Taiwan also imports U.S. LNG, and India is rapidly increasing its imports as well."
"Limiting U.S. LNG exports does not have any impact on the world’s demand for natural gas," the letter continued. "Instead, countries including Russia and Iran will simply produce more energy that is subject to less stringent environmental regulations. As a result, limiting American LNG exports in the name of stopping climate change could do just the opposite and add to global emissions."
