The US pays the NATO bills so it can control NATO. Nothing about this arrangement is based on generosity. European countries are vassal states of the American Empire.
It's the US tax payer that is paying. Both for the original equipment and the higher energy prices. The US doesn't collect export tariffs on LNG to the EU.
At least under feudalism, the tribute went straight to the king, so if he had to pay for some public works the tribute would be used. Here it goes to the jews running the Hedge funds and corporations. None of it makes it back to the US people.
However, those LNG terminals are employing thousands of six figure blue collar jobs, and they are not unionized, something rare in modern heavy industry. Without countries buying up all that LNG, those jobs wouldn't be possible.

Vassal States pay tribute to their overlords, not the other way around.
How much is Germany paying for LNG exported from the US, again? LNG imports Germany wouldn't need if the US hadn't blown up the pipelines?
Germany is paying tribute, make no mistake.
