probability 83% deadline 2026-12-30 (54d left) Energy

Posted 2026-11-04 — 56 days before the deadline, stated before the outcome.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects require construction of liquefaction terminals to convert and ship natural gas overseas. A final investment decision is the formal approval to begin full-scale construction, while the first cargo marks the start of commercial exports. The question addresses whether any major project will meet either milestone by the given date.
