...plans by energy giant Dominion to build the first natural gas liquefaction and export facility on the East Coast, a site that would handle booming supplies from the Marcellus Shale and other vast deposits for shipment to Asia and elsewhere...
That’s okay. I could give a hoot if Asia gets shipments of US Marcellus Shale. I would like the US to use US resources so we don’t have to deal with the Arabs anymore. Energy independence and US jobs is the excuse.

Thats okay. I could give a hoot if Asia gets shipments of US Marcellus Shale. I would like the US to use US resources so we dont have to deal with the Arabs anymore. I agree with the sentiment, but I'm pretty sure that almost all of our petroleum imports come from Canada and Mexico. To deal the Arabs and other malcontents a blow we would need to use the strategic oil reserve as a weapon against OPEC. Even though we get very little oil from them they control the global price with their cartel.

(The US has become a government with a country, rather than a country with a government.)
