Protecting American Energy Security Act of 2026
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Summary
The bill adds a rule that any company wanting to ship natural gas from the United States to a “covered nation” must first obtain a certification from the Secretary of Energy confirming the export is in the public interest. The certification must be in effect for up to one year and is required in addition to any existing export order. This aims to safeguard American energy security by giving the Energy Department a direct say over such exports.
