DoE Rebrands Fossil Fuels to "Freedom Gas" - Not Satire

Yes but you decided to leave bits out initially for whatever reason:

And the Slate link you provided attests to a "reporter from EURACTIV" being responsible for the “freedom gas” moniker.

And did you notice that is irrelevant?  Doesn't matter if a EURACTIV reporter or Borat said it first, the DoE used it in an official press release with direct quotes from 2 top level executives. 

Further, I guarantee you that the phrase "freedom gas" was probably used many times in the past by a 'cheeky' reporter or protestor or even a forum poster.  The fact is the DoE used it...officially.

Indeed, "freedom gas" and "molecules of US freedom" were used but has the DoE officially adopted these names? I can't help but notice that "natural gas" occurs seven times in DoE's press release ( https://www.energy.gov/articles/department-energy-authorizes-additional-lng-exports-freeport-lng ) while "freedom gas" and "molecules of US freedom" are only used once each time and they were both within quotes.

Doesn't look like there's been any permanent adoption.
