During the hearing, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee grilled Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm about the administration’s “war on energy.”.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told a House Oversight Committee Thursday that the pause on liquified natural gas (LNG) export permits would be rescinded by the first quarter of 2025. The statement was made in response to questions from Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., during a hearing.
In January, the Biden administration had announced a pause on export permits of LNG to countries without a free trade agreement with the U.S., which includes European nations. The pause was to do a review of the permits to determine if they are in the public interest. The permit applications are reviewed by the Department of Energy, and the pause impacted only new applications.
Higgins wanted to know if the Department of Energy had yet determined if new export permits were in the public interest.
“We’re in the middle of a study and updating our assessment of what is in the public interest,” Granholm answered, which would be complete in the first quarter of 2025.
“Would that be a no?” Higgins replied.
Granholm disputed the characterization of the pause as a ban, as Higgins and other committee members called it. The pause, she said, has no impact on exports that are happening now, she said. “There is no cut off. We have to do an assessment of what's in the public interest given the huge amounts that we have authorized so far,” Granholm explained.
Critics, however, have argued that the policy decision, even if it lasts only a year, still has environmental and economic impacts, including scaring off investors with regulatory uncertainty.
War on Energy
During the hearing, Republicans on the committee grilled Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm about the administration’s “war on energy.”
“We will not stand by solidly as the Biden administration subverts America's energy independence and demonizes this critical industry,” Committee Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said.
Democrats on the committee, as well as Granholm, denied that the Biden administration was doing anything to impede American energy production, citing the administration’s clean energy policies.
Control of the means of production.
“be rescinded by the first quarter of 2025”
LOL! Oh yes it will!
Granholm doesn't already know? Makin' it up as ya goooo...
The LNG export pause was done to punish Texas for their border enforcement.
Oh, how nice. They'll let you produce energy; they just won't let you sell it.
Hoping to bring heating costs down before the election?
She is a genuinely stupid person!
So fitting for the Biden Administration.
When President Trump wins again this fall and takes office next year, he really needs to put an immediate pause on all wind turbine and solar farms for environmental reassessment. Both are damaging wildlife and land. It needs be a comprehensive analysis which could take several years.
“Hoping to bring heating costs down before the election?“
It usually takes a couple of years to build new LNG export facilities. But those in charge might not know any better.
I suspect that they’re trying to keep world-wide LNG prices to help Russia finance their unprovoked full scale war of conquest over Ukraine.
“be rescinded by the first quarter of 2025”
LOL! Oh yes it will!”
... ‘cause you ain’t gonna be there, Jenny !!

Imagine a country without the Global Warming Fraud.
Geology doesn’t care about ideology.
The US produces about 0.978 trillion cubic meters of gas per year.
The US consumes about 0.881 trillion cubic meters of gas per year.
US natural gas reserves, 12.5 Trillion cubic meters, including shale. The last big increase in reserves came when it became clear the hunt of shale oil would flow gas as byproduct. That is all in the numbers above.
(From BP’s Statistical Review of World Energy, the bible of energy for about 80ish years now)
I am not big fan of exporting natural resources.
There is a huge DOMESTIC market for NG.
Of course it will be rescinded by the first quarter of 2025. Trump will be president by then and all your idiotic policies will be rescinded you daffy old hag.

I am sure it will Granholm, Trump will be taking office and reversing your war on energy
Pretty sure it will be rescinded early 2025, since you asshats will be working on the board of corporations and not in the givernment
Do you think we are going to run out of rope?
