Bill > S3545

This bill, titled the "Lowering American Energy Costs Act of 2025," proposes to amend the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to ban the export of natural gas produced in the United States. The bill's findings section cites numerous studies and analyses, including those from the Energy Information Administration and the Department of Energy, which suggest that exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG), a form of natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state for easier transport, leads to higher domestic natural gas and electricity prices for both households and industries. The bill aims to keep domestic energy costs low by restricting these exports, though it allows for exemptions if the President determines they are in the national interest, do not unreasonably raise costs for residential consumers, or are critical for the national security of the United States or its strategic partners, with any such exemption requiring approval by a joint resolution of Congress.
