A flare burns at Venture Global LNG in Cameron, La., April 21, 2022. The new facility, which exports liquefied natural gas, is one of several like it along the Gulf Coast — and tmore are proposed for Louisiana and Texas. The U.S. has become the world’s largest exporter of LNG, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine heightened demand for the fuel as countries in Europe cut their reliance on Russian energy. But the U.S. expansion of LNG facilities has come with consequences for Gulf Coast residents threatened by extreme weather, and for the planet threatened by greenhouse gases.
Natural gas from the Permian Basin in Texas and other areas is sent by pipeline to the export facilities. It is then cooled and liquefied, making it possible to send much greater quantities by ship to Asia, Europe and other places that are hungry for natural gas. (AP Photo / Martha Irvine)

Agustina Cañamero, 81, hugs and kisses her husband Pascual Pérez, 84, through a plastic film screen to avoid contracting the coronavirus at a nursing home in Barcelona, Spain, June 22, 2020. Even when it comes wrapped in plastic, a hug can convey tenderness and relief, love and devotion. The fear that gripped Agustina Cañamero during the 102 days she and her 84-year-old husband spent physically separated during Spain’s coronavirus outbreak dissolved the moment the couple embraced through a screen of plastic film. The image was part of a series by Associated Press photographer Emilio Morenatti that won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography. (AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti)

A soldier of the Polisario Front fires a rocket toward Morocco, near Mehaires, Western Sahara, Oct. 14, 2021. After 30 years of cease-fire, the Polisario Front has taken up arms again in its quest for an independent Western Sahara. The flare-up in the conflict is fueled by frustration among new generations of Sahrawi refugees who believe that the wait for a referendum on self-determination, as promised by the United Nations, has only played on Morocco’s benefit while their lives languished in unforgiving desert camps.
