AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would amend the Clean Air Act so that any release of greenhouse gases from a new electric utility steam generating unit, starting on the date the law is enacted, counts as a violation of federal emission standards. It would bar the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission from approving LNG terminal applications or issuing natural gas pipeline certificates, unless the approval would reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the terminal. It would ban hydraulic fracturing (fracking) on all onshore and offshore land under U.S. jurisdiction starting January 1, 2029. It would also prohibit exports of domestically produced crude oil and natural gas, with limited exceptions for certain crude oil exports approved by the Secretary of Commerce and the President.
