Protecting American Households From Rising Energy Costs Act of 2025

This bill, titled the "Protecting American Households From Rising Energy Costs Act of 2025," establishes a prohibition on the export of liquefied natural gas and petroleum products . Specifically, it forbids these exports to entities operating in or owned/controlled by the People's Republic of China, the Russian Federation, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or the Islamic Republic of Iran. The primary goal is to safeguard American households from rising energy costs by restricting the supply of these resources to certain foreign adversaries. The Secretary of Energy has the authority to grant a waiver to these prohibitions, but only if an imminent and acute national security emergency to the United States exists and no other response is sufficient. Exporters are responsible for ensuring compliance with these restrictions and related regulations. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties, including civil fines up to $250,000,000 or twice the transaction amount, and criminal penalties of up to $100,000,000 and 20 years imprisonment for knowing violations.
