WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 26, 2024) – Today, the Partnership to Address Global Emissions (PAGE) issued the below statement in response to the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resource’s Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024:
The PAGE Coalition appreciates Chair Manchin and Ranking Member Barrasso’s bipartisan work to keep the critical importance of modernizing our nation’s outdated and restrictive permitting system at the forefront of the national conversation.
In particular, we appreciate their focus on timely consideration of LNG export applications and look forward to working with Congress to build on this proposal and advance permitting reform that addresses pipeline infrastructure. Comprehensive permitting reform that includes timely LNG export approvals and pipeline infrastructure is a necessary investment that will strengthen national security, reduce global emissions, and stabilize U.S. natural gas supply to meet energy demands, while keeping prices low.
