    A few months after this video was uploaded, Russia invaded Ukraine, and Europe decided to stop buying pipeline gas from Russia. I'm sure Freeport LNG has contributed hugely in the effort to wean Europe off its dependence on Moscow.

      Because importing and exporting LNG are fundamentally different.
      When it comes to exporting, you need to clean the gas by removing CO2, H2S; remove any mercury; remove moisture; remove any heavy hydrocarbons, eventually cooling the gas down into LNG.
      When you import LNG, all of the above has been taken care of. This is a fine science and an engineering challenge, so it doesn't come cheap.

      Anyway, there are no grids run mostly by solar and wind, not even 50%, not anywhere in the world, nor will there be, because integrating it and firming it up is too expensive.

      Texas produces the most renewable energy in the country. that money already had the chance to get in on the green tech. if you really wanted "green" technology. youd be pushing for the expansion of nuclear. but the only nuclear plant construction in the country is in georgia and it was 6 years overdue and 30 billion over budget. the federal and state governments have been actively trying to kill the nuclear industry. its only a waste because the government literally stops anything better from happening.

      LNG right bow is one of the cheapest forms of energy there is. You hook a propane tank to a single burner and a cast iron skillet and see how many steaks you can cook before you run out bro. It will take a while. No waiting for the wind to blow. Not as bad of a winter in many areas it lead to less demand causing oversupply so prices inverted from way up to way low. Natural gas is lit you know it. Lit-terally lyrical, not even satirical. When you turn crude into gasoline it can expire and a gaseous form of storing the energy can store for longer. You put a propane tank next to a gasoline can and see shich one expires first. You eill find the gasoline expires before tgebplastic gas can but the propane tank the metal steel very high standard of build quality for saftey will expire and the acthal propane inside of it wont. So in certain applicatioms you can see how ceetwin forms of the earth lend themselves to certain things. Propane you can hold for longer than gasoline. Methane csn be liquified its cow farts man
