Energy Dept Rebrands Fossil Fuels as Freedom Gas
May 29, 2019 at 7:55 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
The Guardian: America is the land of freedom, as any politician will be happy to tell you. What you dont hear quite so often is that the stuff under the land is also apparently made of freedom as well. That is, at least according to a news release this week from the Department of Energy.
Mark W Menezes, the US undersecretary of energy, bestowed a peculiar honorific on our continents natural resources, dubbing it freedom gas in a release touting the DoEs approval of increased exports of natural gas.

after eating too may baked beans at our 4th of July Picnics.
Freedom chemicals I didn't experience until I was a teenager living in Berkley.
I have a feeling this whole thread is going to be comic genius.
