The House of Representatives passed a bill on Feb. 15 that would reverse President Joe Biden’s pause on U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The tally was 224–200, with nine Democrats joining all 215 Republicans in favor of the Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act of 2024, which House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) said this week was in response to what she called President Biden’s “war on American energy.”
