U.S. Representative Mike Johnson (LA-04) joined President Trump on Air Force One as they headed to Sempra Energy’s Cameron Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Export Facility in Hackberry, Louisiana, to survey three liquefied natural gas storage tanks, an export-ready operational natural gas liquefaction plant and the construction progress of two natural gas liquefaction plants.
JOHNSON RELEASED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT:
“Since President Trump took office and made energy dominance a top priority of his administration, domestic energy production in the U.S. has soared, and the industry has experienced an economic boom. Thanks, in large part, to operations in Louisiana, we now have the ability to use our own resources rather than depending on hostile foreign nations to meet the demands of American industries and consumers.
“The administration’s focus on promoting pro-growth policies, coupled with deregulation efforts passed in the last Congress, has allowed businesses in the energy sector to create, invest and grow – leading to increased innovation and thousands of good-paying jobs in our state and across the nation. These extraordinary results are a prime example of what can be achieved when we unleash the power of the free market.”
