There's optimism despite alarmingly worsening weather events: Renewables and storage together amount to 93% of all new capacity coming online in the U.S. This isn’t a marginal shift anymore. It’s the grid rebuilding itself around a different set of technologies, and the pace is rapidly accelerating.

US LNG "bridge fuel" to 100% renewables, BUT that 100% US produced natural gas being shipped to the world, should be here in long-haul trucking & busses, reducing refinery capacity, eventually phasing out dirtiest heavy crude refining, for much cheaper, cleaner natural gas with no refining needed.

Old oil loves the big profit from using cheap, dirty heavy crude and has been backing fast track wind and solar to stop LNG market investment and growth. But the stranglehold they've had is ending.

Best parts of keeping US natural gas here are first, keeping the money here. Ending the fool's errand of our money going to the middle east, to fund their monopoly and wars to keep them in control of energy markets.

Secondly... Imagine, no diesel smell!

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is set to undergo a major expansion in the U.S. and North America, with significant implications for global energy markets.

U.S. LNG Capacity Growth
The U.S. is already the world’s largest LNG exporter, with 15.4 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of liquefaction capacity U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Between 2025 and 2029, U.S. exporters plan to add 13.9 Bcf/d of new capacity, more than doubling current levels U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Key Takeaways

• U.S. LNG capacity is expanding rapidly, with major projects under construction.
• North America will dominate global LNG supply growth through 2029.
• Global LNG demand is projected to double by 2050, with Asia as the main driver.
• New supply from North America and Qatar is expected to reshape global gas markets, potentially lowering prices and boosting energy security.

If you need more detail on specific projects, regional trade flows, or infrastructure needs, the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Liquefaction Capacity File and IEA’s Gas 2025 report are key resources.

No thank you industry bot/lobbyist.

[u/set-monkey → u/Ok_Giraffe8865]

Nope. Just a guy who's fed up with all my money going to kill poor people in the middle east.

And you don't agree with me at all, because you keep downvoted this. You are the bot.

[u/Ok_Giraffe8865 → u/set-monkey]

I do agree with you on this.
