U.S. Could Become “Swing Producer” for Natural Gas, If…

On Monday the U.S.-EU Energy Council held a meeting in Washington chaired by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm, EU High Representative/Vice President Josep Borrell Fontelles, and European Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson. There was some talk about natural gas and ensuring sufficient supplies for Europe, especially with Russia's Vladimir Putin threatening to shut off half of Europe's supplies over Ukraine. There was plenty of blah blah blah talk about a "clean and just energy transition" to so-called renewables. Whatever. It was a forum held after the official meeting that caught our attention. Duncan Wood, Ph.D., Vice President for Strategy & New Initiatives at the Wilson Center made a statement with great insight about the U.S.'s potential role in supplying natural gas to the world via LNG.
