American Energy Alliance Commends House Members For Voting in Favor of H.R. 1949
WASHINGTON DC (11/21/2025) – Last night, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1949, the Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act of 2025. This legislation would streamline the LNG export approval process. The final vote was 217 to 188, with 28 members abstaining. The vote was included in AEA’s American Energy Scorecard.
American Energy Alliance President Tom Pyle released the following statement:
“When the Department of Energy implemented LNG export permit requirements almost nine decades ago, the U.S. was concerned about having enough supply for our domestic needs. Today, the energy landscape has changed significantly, and the U.S. has become the number one gas producer in the world. Not only are we producing more than ever before, but we still have massive reserves just waiting to be tapped. What hasn’t changed is an onerous and outdated permitting requirement that stifles investment and American competitiveness. It has been used as a political football long enough; today, we applaud the House for taking the first step to streamline the process so it works in favor of our country’s economic needs. We have abundant God-given natural resources, and we are producing them safely and cleanly. It’s past time to get out of our own way and get our goods to market.”
