I wonder if you got to the SpaceX launch pad which sits in the middle of a wildlife reserve on the coast and is reportedly in violation of many environmental regulations and previous commitments for its operation.
Last year the Biden Administration encouraged the Dept of Energy to pause LNG terminal permits when the energy was going to non-free-trade agreement countries (like China). No one has looked at the requirements since exporting energy became a thing again in 2015. That is what the engineer means, I think, about Biden "banning exports." He didn't. And that pause is soon to be over. We are the largest exporter of LNG and gas -- bigger than Saudi Arabia.
Wonderful stories of your travels!

Not yet, but we hope to! If we manage it, we’ll write about it in a follow up in a few weeks. Thanks for the read!

Thank you. I amended the final part of John’s story.
Michael, I think this piece is very engaging and well written.
