""As Louisiana becomes more vulnerable, we're just adding to that vulnerability by producing more greenhouse gases. That's insanity.""
""The terminal, called Louisiana LNG, is owned by Woodside Energy, Australia's biggest oil and gas producer, with construction costs expected to reach nearly $18 billion.""
Louisiana's liquefied natural gas (LNG) export boom began in 2016, promoting LNG as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. However, the Sabine Pass LNG terminal has become a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, surpassing the state's largest oil refineries. A new LNG facility under construction near Lake Charles is expected to produce even more emissions, raising concerns about climate impacts in Louisiana, which is already facing threats like rising sea levels and intense hurricanes. The construction costs for this facility are projected to be nearly $18 billion.
