Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to liquid form for easier transport. Proponents argue that lifting the moratorium would boost the U.S. economy by opening new markets for natural gas, create jobs, and enhance energy security by strengthening trade relations with allied countries. Opponents argue that exporting LNG could increase domestic gas prices, undermine climate change goals, and contribute to the continued reliance on fossil fuels rather than investing in renewable energy sources.

I think that natural gas is a better option than standard gasoline because it is a cleaner burning fossil fuel and it would help the air quality so yes
@B2LWRQN8mos8MO
No, it would undermine climate change goals, and contribute to the continued reliance on fossil fuels rather than investing in renewable energy sources
@B6KGB831mo1MO
Yes, Natural gas must be captured during oil drilling instead of releasing or burning it at the drill sites.
@B6SCH2S2wks2W
No, and should put more economic insenstives into exporting green energery and construction of wind solar etc

The question of whether the U.S. should lift the moratorium on new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export licenses is complex, with strong arguments on both sides. Supporters argue it boosts the economy and supports allies, while opponents raise concerns about climate change and energy prices.
Arguments for lifting the moratorium:
Economic benefits:
Increased LNG exports can lead to job creation, economic growth, and a larger tax base.
Energy security for allies:
Many countries, particularly in Europe, rely on LNG imports for energy security, and the US can play a vital role in providing a stab… Read more

No, LNG is a fossil fuel, and if we allow it to be transported and used, it'll hurt our goals of reducing fossil fuel emissions and mitigating climate change.
@B6H9Z8F1mo1MO
No because than anyone could trade with other countries ruining our business with them an affecting us
@B654BS52mos2MO
No, instead put more restrictions on natural gas and fossil fuel resources and work to decarbonize our energy grid
