SCR 32 is a resolution recommending that the United States
Congress expedite natural gas exports. The majority of the bill highlights the
importance of natural gas to the United States economy. These statements are as
follows:
- The United States produces more natural gas than any other
state.
- As of 2012 natural gas development supports 900,000 jobs
in the United States.
- Natural gas had an important geopolitical role to play.
- Expansion of natural gas exports would help the United
States and WTO states in the international realm.
SCR 32 ends with the resolution that the 84th Legislature
of Texas urge the United States Congress to expedite natural gas exports, and
that copies of this resolution will be sent to the President of the United
States, the president of the Senate, the speaker of the House of
Representatives, and the Texas delegation to the United States Congress.
We agree that natural gas is an important component of the
economies of both Texas and the United States. The findings of SCR 32 are
accurate and the resolutions are laudable. If congress does indeed expedite
natural gas exports, there will be significant gains to be had, in the realms
of deregulation and free trade. As such we support the aims of SCR 32.
