Holy shit, I thought this was an Onion article first time I saw the phrase. US Department of Energy press release: Department of Energy Authorizes Additional LNG Exports from Freeport LNG (emphasis mine):
“Increasing export capacity from the Freeport LNG project is critical to spreading freedom gas throughout the world by giving America’s allies a diverse and affordable source of clean energy. Further, more exports of U.S. LNG to the world means more U.S. jobs and more domestic economic growth and cleaner air here at home and around the globe,” said U.S. Under Secretary of Energy Mark W. Menezes ...
and
“... I am pleased that the Department of Energy is doing what it can to promote an efficient regulatory system that allows for molecules of U.S. freedom to be exported to the world,” said Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy Steven Winberg, who signed the export order and was also in attendance at the Clean Energy Ministerial.
US Department of Energy is now referring to fossil fuels as “freedom gas”
