bill, The continuous robust and uncontrolled drilling and export (crude oil) law prevents future US presidents from imposing export bans on crude oil. According to a copy of the law originally obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, restrictions were enacted for national security reasons. Alternatively, the bill would allow the President to impose an oil export ban if the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of Commerce jointly discover and report to Congress and the President, either if the President significantly outweighs supply shortages or prices rises above the global market level, and if it is likely to cause a negative impact on jobs.
Notably, former President Joe Biden introduced various regulations during his sole term to curb the growth of the US oil and gas industry, including imposing restrictions on certain liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.
“President Biden’s four years have been characterized by government-wide attacks on domestic energy, which is the life system of our economy,” Arlington told the DCNF in an exclusive statement. “He even considered banning all American oil exports that would destroy our economy, quality of life, and future investments in the United States. While we are fortunate that President Trump will return to his elliptical office, Congress must seize this opportunity and pass the law to protect the independence of energy from the radical policies of future administrations.”
