If you want to dive into the math, I’d recommend Jeremy Symons’ work. The TL;DR is that US LNG is ~33% worse than coal. IOW, if you care about global warming and the choice is between a Polish power plant running on domestic coal or US LNG, choose the former. https://www.symonspa.com/post/lng-spreadsheet-tool-lngst

So now let’s pivot to how that affects US/European energy policy. In the US, the fastest growing demand for natural gas is for exports. The industry - and their shills in the WH - are keen to protect that golden goose. https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/key-us-natural-gas-trends-track-lng-exports-hit-new-highs-2025-08-14/
