Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna\u2019s proposed gas export ban will backfire, people familiar with natural gas policy warn.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the Trump administration continues to betray Americans and extend the war with Iran, Congress needs to step in and put the interests of our hard-working constituents first,\u201d Khanna stated in a press release last April. The Gasoline Export Ban Act of 2026 would freeze gas exports if the average price of gas in the U.S. is above $3.12 per gallon for 7 days, and lift the ban if it\u2019s below that mark for 7 days.

Khanna\u2019s office did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy proposals will help lower gas prices by taking on corporate profiteering. They put working and middle-class Americans first,\u201d Khanna previously posted on X.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The average price of gas in the U.S. is $4.29 per gallon as of June 2, Center for Strategic & International Studies fellow Clayton Seigle wrote June 5. The average prior to the Iran War was $2.94. Seigle warned that price control policies would worsen the situation by causing refineries in the Gulf Coast to deprioritize gasoline production in favor of diesel and also stress an already strained global supply chain.<\/p>\n

\u201cRep Khanna\u2019s legislation will do absolutely nothing to affect fuel prices. It\u2019s a gimmick that plays on people\u2019s legitimate frustrations with energy costs while most likely not passing Congress nor having any effect on the international oil markets which are a primary driver of fuel prices,\u201d writer and former trucker Gord Magill told the DCNF.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would advise Rep Khanna and his friends in the Democratic Party who are so so worried about consumer energy costs to reverse course on their climate alarmist priors and pass legislation which will help truckers, farmers, and others who use diesel engines,\u201d Magill said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Former President Joe Biden previously froze liquefied natural gas exports to non-free trade agreement countries in January 2024, which critics argued stalled investment, undermined America\u2019s national security, and didn\u2019t even help reduce carbon emissions. President Donald Trump reversed the ban in January 2025 during his first day in office.<\/p>\n

Magill cited Rep. Mike Collins\u2019 and Sen. Cynthia Lummis\u2019 Diesel Liberation Act as an example of legislation that\u2019d help diesel users.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Diesel Liberation Act] would nullify the extremely costly DEF fluid emissions control mandates which have flummoxed truckers and farmers for two decades now,\u201d Magill said. \u201cThe loss to the costs associated with these systems, especially because of their fragile nature and how often they breakdown, are nearly incalculable, though some estimates put it at over $13 billion a year in direct losses to those who feed us and keep our economy rolling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would also advise Rep Khanna and his collleagues [sic] to examine why so many upgrading facilities and refiners in America have gone out of business over the past decade or so, and consider the loss of that capacity in light of our energy cost crisis,\u201d Magill said.<\/p>\n

The American Petroleum Institute (API), America\u2019s largest trade association for the natural gas and oil industry, also opposes Khanna\u2019s bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would oppose any export restrictions, period. Because \u2026 it doesn\u2019t meet the measure of smart and wise energy policy. Every energy policy that we should be pursuing should be about producing, how do we produce more?\u201d API president Mike Sommers said during an interaction with a journalist Monday. \u201cHow do we move more? How do we refine more? And export policies, export restrictions, do the opposite of all of those things.\u201d<\/p>\n
