has thrust Europe’s dangerous Russian energy dependence into plain view. Refusing to learn from others, the United States is importing natural gas from the adversarial nation of Venezuela. This makes no sense. On energy, people want abundant, affordable, and increasingly clean options.
In turn, Congress can move to increase energy production and meet emissions-reductions targets in one fell swoop. House Republicans must remember this as they host hearings to address our nation’s energy challenges and overly complicated permitting process. When Sen. Joe Manchin championed permitting reform in the previous Congress, many environmentalists decried the bill as a handout for fossil fuel companies. They did so despite the majority of projects held up by permitting being clean energy projects. While fossil fuel production will benefit modestly, clean energy stands to gain enormously from permitting reforms.

This reality has informed the Department of Energy’s move to establish a"government endorsement for natural gas that meets a minimum standard for cleanliness," according toThey can do so.
