Venture Global’s facility was the first to come online since President Donald Trump reversed former President Joe Biden’s ban on LNG exports.
On Thursday, March 6, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and Secretary of Energy Chris Wright toured the facility.
Wright says the facility plays a big role in the country’s energy industry.
“Louisiana is the largest exporter of LNG of any state in our country, and before long, it will export more LNG from Louisiana than any country on the planet,” Wright said. “This industry, LNG, is the fastest growing export industry in our country, and before long, will be the largest export industry from our country.”
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry addressed the facility’s workers, noting their part in adding to the state and national energy industry.
“I’m here to say thank you to you because I’ve always believed that the greatest natural resource that we have in this country is the people, as Americans and as Louisianians,” Landry said.
The facility was initially approved by Trump in 2019 during his first presidential term.
