rently enjoys worldwide dominance. Individual sanctions against bad actors in China may be a preferable longterm strategy. A worldwide free market where all entities play by the rules will benefit Member Companies in their efforts to provide the world’s economy with the energy it needs to grow and prosper. The Council believes the U.S. government should support our companies in exporting natural gas, as well as in developing the technology needed to support the energy transition. U.S. exports of cleaner burning natural gas to allies and developing nations can provide reliable energy and lower emissions. By displacing coal (which is still the primary source of power generation in many parts of the world), U.S. natural gas can help nations make their energy transition while lowering worldwide carbon emissions. The Council also believes the federal government should support the energy technology and services sector so it can provide breakthrough technologies that
would allow the world to successfully transition to a lower carbon future. Our sector has the expertise and ability to scale these technologies worldwide. The industry is primed to continue leading the world for years to come, and the federal government should do all that it can to support this endeavor. The Council will continue to advocate for these important resources to used for the benefit of the American people. l ......................................................................................................
