Related to the LNG purchasing, congress could pass an exemption on LNG ships for the Jones act or pass some sort of incentive to build modern US-made and flagged LNG tankers. Right now LNG goes from tx or louisiana to canada and then to New England since it cannot legally go direct from TX to New England. The only two LNG tankers that can do it legally have 5% of the capacity of modern LNG tankers. Solving that will lower the price of LNG.

Modern Subsea DC cables are not insulated with oil anymore.

Its more to protect against spiking demand/pricing. I found this: EIA on LNGs effect on New England gas prices.
