LNG Law Blog
LNG Law Blog is the comprehensive daily source for North American LNG news ad developments. The law firm who sponsors this blog, Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP, believes that LNG imports and infrastructure are essential to meet U.S. energy needs, and that LNG terminals should and could be constructed consistent with attention to legitimate safety and security concerns. This blog, however, does not take any position about LNG or any particular project.
