; Whereas, on March 9, 2022, the European Commission approved a Complementary Climate Delegated Act that specifies certain nuclear and natural gas activities are covered by the European Union taxonomy and thus considered green investments; Whereas the European Commission’s Complementary Climate Delegated Act allows natural gas and nuclear energy activities to be considered as renewable or green investments, which will spur private and public investments in natural gas and nuclear energy and make Europe less reliant on Russian energy in the future; Whereas, on March 25, 2022, the United States announced an agreement with the European Union for the United States to supply the European Union with up to 15,000,000,000 additional cubic meters of liquefied natural gas by the end of 2022; Whereas, in November 2022, an energy security agreement between the United States and European Union implied that Europe would seek up to 147,000,000,000 cubic meters of liquified natural gas imports in 2023; Whereas, on January 26, 2024, President Biden announced a ban on the approval process of liquified natural gas export permits to countries that do not have a free trade agreement with the United States; Whereas United States liquified natural gas exports helped reduce natural gas prices in Europe by over 83 percent from 2022 levels; Whereas the Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory estimates that American liquified natural gas is 41 percent cleaner than Russian national gas; Whereas the International Energy Agency predicts global demand for natural gas will increase by 41 percent by 2050, and an additional 240,000,000,000 cubic meters per year of liquified natural gas export capacity is needed by 2050; Whereas increased usage of natural gas domestically will also reduce United States dependence on foreign energy and strengthen United States national security
