Lowering American Energy Costs Act of 2025
This bill directs the President to restrict U.S. natural gas exports through regulations aimed at keeping domestic energy prices low. It requires the President to issue a rule prohibiting natural gas exports, with limited exemptions for national security or strategic allies that must be approved by Congress. The bill claims such restrictions would prevent projected price increases for households (up to $124 annually) and industries (up to $125 billion by 2050) cited in its findings. It directly affects U.S. energy consumers and industries reliant on domestic natural gas, as defined by the bill's stated purpose.
