Congress finds that exports of liquefied natural gas from the United States to Europe have a lifecycle emissions profile that is 41 percent lower than natural gas that is exported from the Russian Federation to Europe. It is the sense of Congress that— any prohibition on the importation of fossil fuels, including crude oil, petroleum, petroleum products, liquefied natural gas, and coal, from the Russian Federation must be offset by an increase in the production of those fossil fuels in the United States;
United States allies in Europe should take similar steps to prohibit the importation of Russian fossil fuels so that the Russian Federation cannot benefit from production of those fossil fuels; and energy independence is critical to national security and should include the production, use, and export of all available energy sources, including coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear, and renewables, as well as strategic minerals critical to electric vehicles and other clean energy sources.
