Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to liquid form for easier transport. Proponents argue that lifting the moratorium would boost the U.S. economy by opening new markets for natural gas, create jobs, and enhance energy security by strengthening trade relations with allied countries. Opponents argue that exporting LNG could increase domestic gas prices, undermine climate change goals, and contribute to the continued reliance on fossil fuels rather than investing in renewable energy sources.
