The world can’t get enough LNG (liquefied natural gas), specifically American LNG. The U.S. has seven active LNG export terminals, another 18 FERC-approved export terminal projects (four under construction), and six or more proposed but not yet approved projects. The world needs our natural gas/LNG, we have the ability to provide it, let’s build! Chop chop!! But wait a minute–it’s not that easy (nothing ever is). There are two big reasons why more LNG export facilities are not proceeding to final investment decisions (FIDs) and beginning to build, even with the world begging for our LNG.
