Bans export of natural gas produced in the U.S. to lower domestic energy costs.
The Lowering American Energy Costs Act of 2025 seeks to amend the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to prohibit the export of natural gas produced in the United States. The bill cites research showing that natural gas exports lead to higher domestic energy prices and increased price volatility. It mandates the President to promulgate a rule restricting natural gas exports, with limited exemptions for national security or strategic international partnerships, subject to congressional approval. The bill also includes findings on the economic and environmental impacts of natural gas exports.
