US Looking at How LNG Exports Enhance European Energy Security

摘要

US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said at a recent event in Washington, D.C., that the US will take a serious look this year at how it can contribute to increased energy security in Europe, but how much can be done without legislative action remains unclear. Speaking at a forum on global energy issues in the coming year, Moniz said European energy security is a key area of focus after the continent's vulnerability was highlighted by the crisis in Ukraine (NGW Mar.31'14). "Some of us may be tempted to have a complacent view of energy security in the United States because of our production, but the fact is we have a serious interest in the broader energy security issue with our allies and friends," he said.
