What ever happen to autos running on compressed Nat. Gas? Why not on liquified gas until gasoline can catch up with more refineries.

Lots of fleet vehicles and public transportation are running on natural gas.

There are some natural gas stations for autos here and there, but same issue (maybe greater) than the EV charging stations. Lack of infrastructure, especially privately-owned infrastructure.
Municipalities have gas infrastructure and there's power infrastructure for municipal needs, but charging stations and CNC stations would be privately owned (unless we want government getting into that business).
For it to be efficient and plentiful for refills when needed, you've got to have an extensive pipeline network, and much more than we have now. Think powerlines throughout municipalities, you'd need more gas pipelines like that. And depending on who's talking, pipelines could be "evil". (Though people never seem to shut them off from their homes during winter time.)

As others said some fleets run it but it basically requires a government handout to build onsite fill for your trucks. I had an ops manager break down how they justified it. I couldn’t tell you the numbers off the top of my head but even with the government money it required diesel to be high to break even or save money
The beer vendors I use to work with all have it. They also were extremely well connected politically, so you can do the math there.
Logistically it only makes sense when you have the same routes every day

Approximately 2 billion more cubic feet of LNG about to come online in Lake Charles in a year or so with the new Driftwood LNG facility.

When I worked on commercial ships 12-15 years ago, they were building that LNG facility in Lake Charles. Has that facility been expanded? Are there additional facilities to be built? Anyone work there or deal with them?
When I worked offshore one of the guys left to take a job in Lake Charles for a chemical plant or similar. It was not built yet and he was going to receive formal training for two years until it opened. Which facility is that? This was about 5 years ago.

I remember being down that way several years ago and I thought one of the locals told me that the original LNG facility built in that area was for importing it. Is that true or am I just remembering wrong?

You have Cameron LNG (x2) and Venture Global in the Calcasieu and Chenier in the Sabine with more in the works.

Charif Souki, chairman of Tellurian, has repeatedly said lately that Driftwood is on schedule to have LNG on the water in the first quarter of 2026. The output capacity of phase 1 of 3 planned is already spoken for. The earthworks and pile driving is happening now at the construction site. They started construction this past spring. Long way to go but it will be the largest LNG facility in the US once all 3 phases are done.

And Sabine LNG. Think that's a JV between Exxon and a foreign outfit.

Yeah I drove by it a few weeks ago and couldn’t believe the amount of equipment out there and the size of the area.

Gas was under $2 a gallon under trump.‘Biden hiked it up to $5. fricking idiots voted for Biden.

It should be America First but Joe is using our tax money to give it away.
Meanwhile Entergy is buttfricking everyone in the state of LA.

I will never defend the Biden Administration on any of their energy policies (or lack thereof, because honestly they don't have an official policy), but the average US monthly price of gasoline has been under $2 for only four months since March 2009, and there's a primary reason why it was under that mark for April and May of 2020, and if you think Donald Trump was the primary reason, then you're an idiot.
Learn supply & demand. Take an economics class.

They are all export facilities. LNG export is profitable because natural gas is cheaper in the US than abroad. There’s no economic driver for LNG imports in the US.
We do import a VERY small amount from Trinidad, for some reason. I suspect it’s just because we are the closest market and Trinidad has to export as LNG no matter what. But that volume is minuscule.. like <0.001% of our exports.
