🚨 Just Dropped in Forbes: “U.S. LNG: America’s Engine Of Growth And Security” My latest @Forbes piece — out today — details how the American #LNG revolution, born from the #Shale Revolution, is fueling U.S. economic growth, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, and strengthening our national and global security like never before. Key highlights: • Thanks to the Shale Revolution that began in the early 2000s, America flipped from a major net importer of oil and LNG to a net exporter — and by 2023 we became the world’s #1 LNG exporter, surpassing Qatar and Australia. • First Lower-48 LNG cargo sailed in 2016; today #Texas natural gas keeps the lights on across Europe and Asia. • U.S. companies are exporting not just molecules but expertise: @exxonmobil , @conocophillips and Houston-based McDermott are key players in Qatar’s $30 billion North Field Expansion, nearly doubling capacity from 77 to 142 million tons per year. • @Excelerate_EE Energy’s floating LNG terminals supply roughly 25% of Bangladesh’s entire natural gas needs. • @sempra's $2.5 billion Energía Costa Azul terminal in Mexico is >90% complete and will start shipping U.S. gas to Asia this Spring at 3 million tons/year — with plans to quadruple capacity. • American tech leads globally: Honeywell UOP treats ~40% of world LNG feedstock and supplies liquefaction tech for nearly two-thirds of global production. • In 2023 alone, the U.S. LNG sector added $43.8 billion to our economy and supported over 222,000 high-paying jobs in engineering, manufacturing, construction and supply chains. Exporting American LNG and know-how builds diplomatic ties, enhances geopolitical influence, and delivers undeniable benefits to every American. Energy abundance is the ultimate security multiplier.
