On Election Day, a significant weather divide across the United States may impact voters at polling locations. A south-to-north cold front is causing unseasonably mild temperatures, 15 to 20 degrees above average, in the eastern U.S., while cooler temperatures and snow are affecting the Rockies in the west.
The United States has become the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), surpassing Australia and Qatar, with exports reaching 91.2 million metric tons in the previous year. This surge is partly due to the EU's efforts to decrease dependence on Russian gas and the resumption of operations at the Freeport LNG facility in the U.S. after a temporary shutdown. With new facilities starting up, including Venture Global LNG's Plaquemines in Louisiana and ExxonMobil and QatarEnergy's Golden Pass in Texas, the U.S. is expected to further increase its LNG exports. The Netherlands, the UK, and France were the primary destinations for U.S. LNG in the first half of 2023, with Europe being the main market in December.
