- Trump announces 'Trump Peace Pipelines' at the Three Seas Initiative summit to expand U.S. LNG exports to Central and Eastern Europe.
- Chris Wright says the United States now produces as much natural gas as Russia, China, and Iran combined.
- Robert Howarth finds that only 34% of LNG’s greenhouse‑gas emissions come from combustion, with the rest occurring during production and transport.
- James Hiatt reports new LNG terminals in Louisiana cause air pollution, siltation, and declining fish and shrimp harvests for local communities.
- Public Citizen warns that LNG exports push U.S. gas reserves to the highest international bidders, raising domestic energy costs.
Why it matters: U.S. LNG exporters and European nations gain a projected export surge of over 100% by 2034, while Louisiana fishermen and low‑income U.S. households lose clean air and face higher electricity bills, a second‑order effect of amplified methane leaks.
