Ground was broken today on a massive liquefied natural gas production and export facility in Calcasieu Parish, named Louisiana LNG.

Louisiana already has four active LNG terminals.

The LNG facility is expected to become operational in 2029 and employ thousands.

Cut 13 (11) “…first and foremost.”
Kelly says he apologized to WBRZ-TV sports director Michael Cauble for his outburst…
Cut 14 (06) “…moving forward.”
