Gas is the worlds go-to fuel, and energy security and affordability are finally being realized as every bit as integral as climate change considerations in our energy-climate discussion.  The timing of CERAWeek was perfect as well, as it came just days after our flagship Chenieres giant Sabine Pass (~5 Bcf/d) liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal in Louisiana celebrated its seventh year anniversary by shipping its 2,000th kargamento.  Natural gas is being shown as much more than a “bridge fuel” but as a destination fuel to a clean, affordable, and reliable energy system to lower emissions while also meeting the demands of a constantly growing economy
