"The Trump administration is authorizing a major gas facility to export the fuel abroad — clearing a major hurdle in getting the controversial project approved.
The Energy Department approved a permit for the Calcasieu Pass 2 (CP2) gas export project to sell gas to countries with which the U.S. does not have a free trade agreement.
Often, liquified natural gas (LNG) export projects wait on such approval before construction.
“The benefits of expanding U.S. LNG exports have never been more clear, and I am proud to be taking action to support the American people and our allies abroad with more affordable, reliable, secure American energy,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said in a written statement."
