The U.S. is the largest exporter of natural gas in the world. And Louisiana's Gulf Coast is where much of America's natural gas is piped in to be liquified for export.
Over the last twenty years, liquified natural gas (LNG) has been heralded as a clean and efficient "bridge fuel" for nations transitioning away from coal and oil, towards a future of renewable energy.
But the promise of LNG has not reflected reality. In today's episode of The Sunday Story, WWNO reporters Halle Parker and Carlyle Calhoun talk about the impact of the LNG export industry on Louisiana's Gulf Coast. And they follow the supply chain of LNG all the way to Germany and Japan.
To hear more of Halle and Carlyle's reporting on LNG, listen to their three-part series, "All Gassed Up," on the podcast Sea Change from member stations WWNO and WRKF.
Part One: The Carbon Coast
Part Two: The German Connection
Part Three: The Sugar Daddy of LNG

Consider This from NPR - Leaner, lighter… lethal? Sport climbing’s problem with eating disorders
Sport Climbing kicks off at the Olympics in Paris next week.
It's a strength-to-weight ratio sport. Meaning, aside from your technique or mental game, the lighter you are relative to your strength, the easier it'll be to get up a wall.
That's led some climbers to fall into the mindset that losing weight is the path to better performance.
One recent study of 50 elite climbers found that more than a third intentionally lost weight before a competition — primarily by fasting and skipping meals, and occasionally by using laxatives, or vomiting.
The mindset that lighter is better is what led one young climber, Jake Scharfman, to develop an unhealthy relationship with his weight.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Questions and Answers: Volume 21
In 8 BC, the Roman senate passed a resolution renaming the month of Sextillis to August to honor the emperor Augustus.
They chose Sextillis, which was the sixth month in the calendar because it was the month that he conquered Egypt.
Fast forward several centuries and August had a permanent place on the calendar.
With that, prepare yourself for the August installment of Questions and Answers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
