## Summary

**Boost U.S. energy exports and strengthen Taiwan's energy resilience.** This bill would push U.S. liquefied natural gas exports and storage tied to Taiwan, expand maritime insurance to protect critical shipments, and encourage U.S.-Taiwan cooperation on nuclear power and energy-infrastructure security. - Would require engagement with Taiwan within 180 days to build energy-infrastructure resilience. That work targets grid and LNG terminal cybersecurity, physical protections, redundancy and continuity planning, joint training, and workforce development. - Directs the Secretary of State, working with Commerce and Energy, to prioritize and clear barriers to U.S. LNG export and storage projects linked to Taiwan and to coordinate with Taiwan on import and storage capacity. It also requires a National Academy of Sciences assessment within one year (2026) on boosting exports, including options to redirect supplies currently headed to the People's Republic of China. - Expands Transportation Department authority to insure or reinsure vessels carrying critical energy or humanitarian goods to Taiwan when needed to deter coercive maritime threats. The coverage decision must include consultation with Defense, State, and the Director of National Intelligence.
