Sabine Pass hosts the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal — the largest LNG export facility in the Western Hemisphere and one of the largest in the world, operated by Cheniere Energy. The terminal exports US natural gas to Europe, Asia, and global markets, making it critical to US geopolitical leverage — particularly as European nations have shifted from Russian gas following the Ukraine war. A hurricane strike on Sabine Pass could disrupt global gas markets and undermine US energy diplomacy at a critical geopolitical moment. The facility sits at near sea level on the Gulf Coast with direct hurricane and storm surge exposure.
