In the marshlands of Cameron Parish, Louisiana, a European engineering giant has received the final authorization to begin constructing one of the largest liquefied natural gas facilities in North America. Technip Energies, commanding more than a fifth of the world's LNG processing capacity, will now assemble a modular plant designed to bring predictability to an industry long defined by cost overruns and delayed timelines.

US enhances energy export dominance and soft power through LNG; European technology firms gain market share; reduces EU vulnerability to energy coercion; diminishes Russian LNG market share and geopolitical leverage; strengthens US-EU technological partnership in critical infrastructure.
Similar to post-Cold War energy infrastructure investments that shifted geopolitical leverage from Soviet/Russian gas monopolies to diversified Western suppliers, reducing strategic vulnerability.
