China’s purchases of US liquefied natural gas plunged to zero in March after a sharp decline in the previous two months, as the trade war between the two biggest economies alters shipping routes.
The geopolitical conflict is once again decoupling the world’s largest LNG buyer and seller. An escalation in mutual tariffs has led China to impose a 125% tariff on all US goods, turning to Indonesia and Qatar for supplies.
IIRC there’s only like 54 years of natural gas supply at current consumption rate with all known deposits tapped. So the less use the better. Coal is supposed to be in the 300-400 year range.
