Records will break this year for gas production. With a glut of new export terminals on the Gulf of Mexico coast. Facilitating a boom that will see US exports of liquified natural gas (or LNG) double in the next four years.

Oil and Gas Activity to Continue at Near-Record Levels

A point at which scientists say planet-heating emissions must put an end to avoid catastrophic climate breakdown. A third of the world’s planned oil and gas expansion in this period will occur in the US.
