"House OKs Bill Targeting Natural Gas Export Permit Pause" [1]

"Nine Democrats crossed party lines to support the legislation."

"The House passed legislation Thursday to limit President Joe Biden’s authority over liquefied natural gas export permits.

Nine moderate Democrats joined all Republicans in approving the House’s attack on the administration’s decision to stop permitting new terminals pending a review of climate and price concerns.

The “Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act,” H.R. 7176, from Rep. August Pfluger (R-Texas), would give the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission the “exclusive authority” to approve LNG projects. It passed 224-220."
