US energy department rebrands gas exports 'molecules of freedom'

Someone, somewhere was paid to do this. More likely, a team of people were paid to research and test different variations of branding natural gas and possibly test on live people.

I wonder how they feel about their jobs.

They also use the term "freedom gas."

"President Donald Trump's administration rebrands petro-fuel as 'freedom'"

If this were satire 10 years ago, it would have been regarded as sophomoric and over-the-top, Michael Moore-esque.

Pinch me.

didn't americans do "Freedom Fries" like 15 years ago?

let's not act like this is unprecedented

Indeed, which is why it would read as bad satire.

The only thing that could possibly be even more on-the-nose in the G. W. Bush era would be rebranding oil "freedom juice".
