Wetlands are seen along the Gulf of Mexico near the Louisiana-Texas border, an area with numerous proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals in Cameron, Louisiana, on September 29, 2022. - As war rages in Ukraine, and Europe thirsts for fuel, the liquified natural gas industry along the US Gulf Coast is preparing to expand. In this marshy coastal region between Texas and Louisiana, the proliferation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal projects, massive facilities that receive and liquefy gas from pipelines, then transfer the LNG to ships for export, unsettles residents, who consider the plants to be a threat to their coast, their serenity and their way of life.
