Recognizing the benefits of natural gas to the United States economy and environment, and recognizing natural gas as an affordable and "green" energy.

House Resolution 1167 is a non-binding resolution that expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that domestically produced natural gas should be officially recognized as an affordable and "green" energy source. The resolution supports a broad national energy strategy and formally opposes government actions that would limit, delay, or ban the approval of facilities used to export liquefied natural gas (LNG). For citizens, this measure acts as a policy statement favoring the continued expansion of the natural gas industry to promote national energy independence and maintain lower energy costs.
