The White House says it will work with the European Union to reduce Europe’s reliance on Russian fossil fuels by replacing them with shipments of liquified natural gas from the United States. President Biden announced the deal earlier today after meeting with top European officials in Brussels.
President Joe Biden: “Today we’ve agreed on a joint game plan toward that goal, while accelerating our progress toward a secure, clean energy future.”
Biden said the U.S. would work to supply an additional 15 billion cubic meters of liquified gas to Europe through the end of this year. His announcement came after Canadian officials also promised to increase oil and gas exports to Europe. This week, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres called it “madness” that countries are seeking to replace Russian energy with more fossil fuel production.

I'm surprised JB's handlers are allowing him to "export" LNG to the EU Countries in order to shore up their supplies if Russia shuts off the pipeline. Regardless of the Country of origin, once burned, LNG can only add to the Climate Change woes he told us on the campaign trail he was going to wholly mitigate. Why Europe? Why doesn't he not treat the US Population with the very same concern as the EU population, re: fossil fuels, high prices, etc.?
