Ban on Natural Gas Exports to Lower U.S. Energy Costs
This bill aims to stop the export of natural gas produced in the United States. The goal is to reduce energy costs for American households and businesses, as studies suggest current exports significantly raise domestic gas and electricity prices. The President would be required to implement this ban, with limited exceptions for national interest or security, subject to Congressional approval.
