(US, politics) Exported natural gas, particularly liquefied natural gas, from the United States.

Remember “freedom gas?” U.S. drillers facing a yearslong glut at home relished the opportunity to export the heating and generation fuel, but the global pandemic’s effect on demand is punishing them.
Origin: . Coined by the U.S. Department of Energy in or around May 2019. Compare freedom fries. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).

  • “We, the world, are long passed the time when we should tell the US to fuck off. These sanctions are imposed to benefit the US at the expense of the countries imposing them. Europe is buying US ‘freedom gas’ at twice the price of Russian gas.”
