Smart move by Chevron.

Soon there will be some big LNG projects coming online in the USA. Two that are not just proposals but are in various stages of construction are:

I take it that you read the article, because it had a graph showing US exports rising from nothing to a lot over 2016-2020?

Graphs are one thing, details about actual ongoing construction are something else. The North America graph in the article looks like a classic startup "hockey stick". And I've been at too many startups and seen too many hockey sticks to take them seriously. Details matter.

The two projects I linked to were delayed by many years. So the fact that there is substantial construction at both sites is a big deal. The fact that Cheniere is actually exporting LNG right now is an even bigger deal.
