Cheniere's Sabine Pass terminal began operation in February 2016 with different liquefaction units, with a total permitted capacity of 4.16 Bcf/d.
According to EIA data updated today, four other LNG export terminals are currently under construction:
Dominion Energy's Cove Point LNG facility in Cove Point, Maryland, is scheduled to bring one train totaling 0.82 Bcf/d online near the end of 2017.
Corpus Christi LNG, another Cheniere project, is under construction in Corpus Christi, Texas. The terminal is scheduled to begin service in 2018, with total permitted capacity at 2.14 Bcf/d.
Sempra Energy's Cameron LNG terminal, located in Hackberry, Louisiana, is under construction and is scheduled to bring three trains online in 2018. A total of 1.7 Bcf/d has been permitted.
Freeport LNG's terminal planned for Freeport, Texas, has three trains under construction totaling 1.8 Bcf/d. The first two are scheduled to begin service in 2019, and the third in 2020.
New Pipeline Projects on the Horizon
In the past couple months, there have been several new pipeline projects to come online in an effort move natural gas either to the Mid-Atlantic markets (New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania) or to feed the gas into existing infrastructure that delivers natural gas further across the country, specifically the U.S. Gulf Coast where LNG plants are planned and currently under construction.
Key projects that came online in late 2015 or early 2016 include, from EIA:
The Rockies Express Pipeline (REX) reversal project had added westbound capacity to flow natural gas to the Midwest in 2014. In late 2015, Texas Eastern Transmission Company's (Tetco) OPEN project added 550 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of pipeline takeaway capacity out of Ohio.
Columbia Gas Pipeline's East Side Expansion, a 310 MMcf/d project that flows natural gas produced in Pennsylvania to Mid-Atlantic markets.
Tennessee Gas Pipeline's Broad Run Flexibility Project, a 590 MMcf/d project originating in West Virginia that moves natural gas to the Gulf Coast states.
Tetco's Uniontown-to-Gas City project flows up to 425 MMcf/d of natural gas produced in the Marcellus region to Indiana.
Williams Transcontinental Pipeline's Leidy Southeast project provides additional capacity to take Marcellus natural gas to Transco's mainline, which extends from Texas to New York. From there, the natural gas serves Mid-Atlantic market areas as well as the Gulf Coast.
Capitalism hums along. Hey Bernie, how is socialist Venezuela doing?

And the price of regular natural gas delivered to my home is the lowest it's been in 35 years.

The capacity of all those facilities under construction total 6.46 Bcf/day or 1.11 Million barrels of oil equivalent / day and goes to show why oil is so vital to the energy trade.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Egypt’s finance ministry this week denied plans to impose taxes on Facebook, halting previous rumors that circulated after the social media giant said it would pay far more tax in the UK.
There is no intention to impose taxes on the use of Facebook, Salah Yusuf, financial ministry’s affiliated tax research body said, in a reversal of his previous comments.
He added that the taxation department is currently considering taxing the e-commerce of goods and services, and plans to attach it to the upcoming Value Added Tax laws.
The Yawm al-Sabeh newspaper previously quoted Yusuf as saying that Facebook should pay tax.
One hour after the publication of the statement, the ministry has quickly released a statement denying the news and Yusuf made a new statement negating what he said before.
A marketing research firm said recently that the number of Facebook users in Egypt reached 27 million users in Dec. 2015, making up 30 percent of country’s population. Egypt is by far the most populous country in the Arab world.
52 percent of Facebook users in Egypt are under 25 years old, and that 35 percent of users are female.

[Iran Press TV] Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari says faulty economic policies and overdependence on oil revenues are the main causes of the country’s economic problems.
Nigeria only has itself to blame for its current economic troubles, Buhari said in an interview broadcast on Saturday, AFP reported.
He also took to task previous governments for causing the country’s overreliance on crude revenues.
Buhari’s remarks came as Nigeria, which is Africa's biggest oil producer and the most powerful economy, has been struggling with problems caused by global oil price slump for more than a year.
The drastic fall in oil prices since June last year has sharply slashed most of the Nigerian government’s revenues.
Last Thursday, Nigeria’s junior oil minister stated that some oil-producing countries, including Russia, were supposed to meet in Moscow on March 20 to discuss a way out of the current oil price slump.
Asked about the impact of policies adopted by Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , as the world's biggest crude oil supplier, and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) on smaller oil producers, Buhari told al-Jazeera English that to get out of the current dire situation, all member states of OPEC had to "act together to save the situation."

How about "Riches attract Graft". A ton of parasites can suck the life out of any economy. Just ask Mexico.
[Iran Press TV] Partially dissolved remains of several people have been found in acid filled barrels in Mexico’s central Puebla state.
Local authorities discovered ten barrels along with nine plastic bags filled with mutilated human remains in the municipality of San Andres Calpan on Thursday.
"It's likely more than three people, we still need to study the contents of the bags," a source from the state prosecutor's office said on Saturday.
Three male pelvic bones have so far been identified, one of which belongs to a 50-year-old, the source added.
According to an official statement, the bodies are probably linked to an incident in the neighboring municipality of Cuautlancingo.
On Tuesday, gunnies raided an illegal cockfight and killed and kidnapped several people.
Four missing people complaints have so far been issued over the kidnappings, although police believe the actual number of abductees is actually higher.

Quezon added that the crew of cargo ship Jin Teng, docked in Subic port in Zambales, "must eventually be deported."
[DailyMail] Kim Jong-Un has increased his outspoken war of words by threatening to 'clearly show the end' to South Korea's President Park Geun-hye, in one of his most outspoken outbursts in public.
It is the first time Kim Jong-Un has openly denounced the South Korean President in such strong words, with the state's media usually responsible for issuing the threats.
The North Korean media has rarely held back in criticising Seoul, once describing the South Korean president as a 'bat living in a cave' and going as far as calling her 'a devil, not a woman.'

[An Nahar] Two Ukrainian soldiers were killed in festivities between pro-Russian rebels and government forces over the past 24 hours, a military front man in Kiev said on Saturday.
The latest casualties came after a fresh European push to resolve the nearly two-year conflict floundered this week, with Russia and Ukraine saying they could not agree on polls in the rebel-held east.
"Unfortunately, two Ukrainian soldiers were killed in festivities with the occupation forces", military front man Andriy Lysenko told journalists.
The latest skirmish took place in the vicinity of the government-held port of Mariupol, when Ukrainian soldiers detected a reconnaissance group of rebels.
Five more Ukrainian soldiers were maimed over the past 24 hours in eastern Ukraine, Lysenko added.
On Thursday, La Belle France and Germany held a new round of talks with Ukraine and Russia in Gay Paree as part of mediation efforts to try to end the nearly two-year war in the east of the former Soviet republic but no consensus was reached over elections in the separatist regions.
More than 9,000 people were killed and more than 21,000 injured since a Moscow-backed insurgency erupted in eastern Ukraine in April, 2014.

[DAWN] Two persons, including the father of the girl, were locked away You have the right to remain silent... for trying to marry an 11-year-old girl as Vani, following a Panchayat decision in the urban area of Nooraywali.
The Panchayat had given Samreen as Vani to be married with 18-year-old Muhammad Abbas to settle the issue over the marriage of Samreen’s father, Muhammad Nawaz.
Nawaz had contracted second marriage with one Kalsoom. However, the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... there was tension and fights in the house and Kalsoom’s parents accused him of ruining their daughter’s life. A Panchayat meeting was called which announced that Nawaz would marry his daughter, Samreen, a class VII student, with Muhammad Abbas of Kalsoom’s family as compensation.
Samreen and her mother resisted against the decision of Panchayat but the Panchayat and Nawaz prepared Nikahnama with fake signatures of Samreen, mentioning her age as 18.
Samreen’s mother approached the station house officer of C-Division Police Station but he took no action on her complaint. Later on, she moved the court and on the court directions, police took action against the illegal marriage.
DPO Zeeshan Asghar told Dawn a case had been registered and father and Nikah registrar had been arrested.

[IsraelTimes] With self-defense classes at Amman center, Lina Khalifeh wants to empower women to protect themselves from attack.
Paging Dr. Steve! Dr. Steve to the white courtesy phone, please.
The wimmins should still keep a dirk in a handy place under their hem...
Fighting with weapons is a related but different skill. One thing at a time -- first they have to become willing to block a blow and hit back. And thus far 14,000 Jordanian girls have learnt that.
[ArmyTimes] The 101st Airborne Divisions 3rd Brigade Combat Team has rescinded a directive requiring soldiers to remove their combat patches during a unit training exercise.
Soldiers in one of the brigades subordinate units on Tuesday "were given a directive to remove their combat patches in order to build cohesion during a unit gunnery exercise at Fort Knox, Kentucky," the division announced in a press release Friday.
The brigade leadership has since rescinded the directive, and soldiers from the unit have been allowed to wear their combat patches.
"This was a well-intended action taken by a now reassigned
leader that was not well thought out and was quickly corrected," said Brig. Gen. Scott Brower, the division's acting senior commander, in a statement. "This division is amongst the most storied, battle-tested and prideful in all the Army. We are proud of all of our combat veterans and never want to take for granted their efforts and sacrifices." Looks like at least one Brigade does not share the collectivist vision.

Buddy of mine was telling me something similar when he was training, to which I said something like, "Madness. How are the newbies supposed to know who (which trainers) knows what they are talking about?"

When the Army was in it's nadir at the end of the Vietnam experience, we had a McNamara boy who treated everyone as an interchangeable cog. Banned the headgear that marked esprit de corps. Now personally, I thought some of it was pretty odd, but hell, these were units that were on the highest level of being hammered if the balloon went up.
One of the 'lessons learned' (and apparently unlearned) from the Vietnam experience was the importance of unit cohesion. Soldiers are not individual cogs or replacements. It's a unit. The unit trains and fights as one. When McNamara Boy left, the various headgear and unit ID came back. It was the beginning of the evolution to one of the finest, if not the finest military this planet had seen in history. Now the idiots are back again devolving the organization (which is still in recovery from over extended commitments).

This is the stupidity of the Everyone Gets A Trophy mindset that Obama and the progressives are embedding into the government and is now seeping into the armed forces, eroding the meritocracy that must be the standard for a successful military.

Concur with P2K. I wish we would bring back the Regimental affiliations as well. I grew up hearing about the units my father and uncles served in and wished to follow in their footsteps and serve in the same units... Immature inexperienced officers and folks like McNamara, whose lack of any real understanding of why men fight could only contribute by changing the names of units as their offering to the good idea fairy of incompetence.

Great analogy, and totally agree, just not necessarily if it is a person's first rodeo.
I am of the school that the only thing harder than learning something new, is unlearning something wrong.

It reminds me of that scene in Baron Munchausen, something like:
"So this is the soldier who singlehandedly destroyed four enemy cannon and rescued twenty prisoners? Execute him. That sort of behavior is demoralizing to the regular soldier."
