Lowering American Energy Costs Act of 2025

Key Points

• Congress would require the President to create a rule that bans exports of U.S.-produced natural gas.
• The bill’s main goal is to keep more natural gas at home, which supporters say could lower U.S. gas and electricity bills.
• Exports could still happen, but only if the President says it’s in the national interest or needed for U.S. security or an ally’s security.
• Any export exemption would also need Congress to approve it before it can take effect.
• If passed, this could affect home heating costs, electric bills (since gas often sets power prices), and energy-heavy businesses.
