CLNG President: U.S. Can Both Export LNG and Meet Domestic Gas Demand

The Center for Liquefied Natural Gas President, Bill Cooper, made a statement, on House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Energy and Power hearing “American Energy Security and Innovation: An Assessment of North America’s Energy Resources”.

“Participants in today’s hearing confirmed again that the United States has abundant supplies of natural gas and more than enough to allow for exports while also meeting growing domestic demand. The ability to export natural gas represents a window of opportunity to create more jobs, generate more public revenues and reduce our trade deficit. We can reap those benefits as soon as the U.S. Department of Energy officially resumes the approval process for proposed LNG export projects.”
