Congress finds the following: North America’s energy revolution has significantly enhanced energy security in the United States, and fundamentally changed the Nation’s energy future from that of scarcity to abundance. North America’s energy abundance has increased global energy supplies and reduced the price of energy for consumers in the United States and abroad. Allies and trading partners of the United States, including in Europe and Asia, are seeking stable and affordable energy supplies from North America to enhance their energy security.
The United States has an opportunity to improve its energy security and promote greater stability and affordability of energy supplies for its allies and trading partners through a more integrated, secure, and competitive North American energy system. The United States also has an opportunity to promote such objectives by supporting the free flow of energy commodities and more open, transparent, and competitive global energy markets, and through greater Federal agency coordination relating to regulations or agency actions that significantly affect the supply, distribution, or use of energy.
