Recognizing the benefits of natural gas to the United States economy and environment, and recognizing natural gas as an affordable and "green" energy.
HRES 1167 is a non-binding House resolution recognizing natural gas as an affordable and "green" energy source, citing its role in reducing power sector greenhouse gas emissions by 66% since 2005 and noting U.S. methane emissions fell 10% from 2005 to 2020 despite a 100% increase in production. It references the European Union’s classification of natural gas as a green investment and the U.S. role in supplying liquefied natural gas to Europe to reduce reliance on Russian energy. The resolution urges the Biden administration to support natural gas production and infrastructure while opposing restrictions on liquefied natural gas export facilities. As a resolution, it expresses congressional support but does not enact binding policy changes.
