ANGA issues statement of support to LNG export bill

Frank J. Macchiarola, executive vice president for government affairs at America’s Natural Gas Alliance, issued a comment on a bill sponsored by Senators John Barrasso and Martin Heinrich to promote the export of liquefied natural gas.

“The introduction of this Barrasso-Heinrich LNG bill is more forward progress in our nation’s drive toward a strong LNG export policy,” said Macchiarola in his comment.

He stated that this legislation will speed up the approval of LNG export terminals and commended Senators Barrasso and Heinrich and the other bipartisan co-sponsors for their leadership.

“Exporting natural gas will make it possible for us as a nation to take advantage of our abundant domestic energy resource, reduce our trade deficit and deliver clean, affordable natural gas around the world,” said Macchiarola.

By requiring the Department of Energy to make a timely decision on export terminals, this measure will support investment, expand the workforce and improve American economic and energy security.

ANGA said it will support the sponsors of this legislation and other supporters of a strong LNG export policy in order to get this measure over the finish line.
