What happened

Energy Secretary Chris Wright visited Cheniere Energy in Gregory, near Corpus Christi, Texas, meeting energy workers and industry leaders, according to the local news segment carried by the Department of Energy. In a live interview at the facility, Wright said, as he stated it, that President Trump was elected to unleash American energy and energy dominance, grow jobs and lower prices in the United States, and export energy abroad.

Wright pointed to tankers at the facility and said, as he stated it, that they carry American natural gas to allies in England and France, and that the facility’s investment and expansion are a win for American jobs and lower prices and for allies abroad.

Why it matters

The Cheniere visit is the Energy Department’s field case for LNG exports as energy dominance, linking Gulf Coast jobs to allied supply in Europe in this chronicle’s energy record.
