Notice
Summary
Rio Grande LNG wants to boost how much liquefied natural gas their Texas terminal can produce—going from 5.4 to about 6 million tons per year per train, totaling over 30 million tons annually. They won’t build new stuff, just squeeze more out of what’s already there. If you’re interested, you’ve got until a set deadline to speak up or get involved!
