OilPrice.com: Democrat Senators Are Trying To Limit U.S. LNG Exports For All The Wrong Reasons
* A group of Democrat Senators has just sent a letter pleading for the Biden Administration to limit U.S. LNG exports while the Department of Energy conducts a review of the exports and their impact on domestic prices.
* The appeal comes at a time when Europe is being crippled by sky-high energy prices, with U.S. LNG potentially providing a lifeline to help keep the lights on in the region.
* Many of the Senators which have signed off on this letter have campaigned against pipelines within their states, forcing them to import natural gas from abroad.
Just as U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) serves as the main cog in helping keep the lights on and homes heated in Europe in this windless winter, a group of Democratic senators sends a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm urging her and the Biden administration to take action to limit U.S. LNG exports.
In their letter, these 10 senators "...urge the Department to conduct a review of LNG exports and their impact on domestic prices and the public interest, and develop a plan to ensure natural gas remains affordable for American households.
Until such a plan is completed, the Department should consider halting permit approvals of U.S. LNG export facilities."

WNU Editor: These same senators killed pipelines and limited energy projects, so it is fitting to see how the consequences of their policy actions are affecting both U.S. and European energy security.
A prediction.
In an election year the Biden administration is not going to green-light natural gas shipments to Europe if it means higher prices for U.S. consumers. They will export some, but not enough to impact Europe's energy needs.

Lol The US is busy putting itself in the energy dark ages. Just got done begging OPEC for help, and the worst is yet to come.
If you actually wanted to help Putin, what exactly would you be doing differently than what Biden and now these democrat Senators are doing? This just helps Putin maintain his energy grip on Europe and helps fund his international ambitions.
