Analysis: Companies may turn to courts on U.S. natural gas export push

U.S. companies hoping to export natural gas are frustrated by lengthy delays and rule changes as they await U.S. Department of Energy approval of their applications and may turn to the courts to speed up the process.
Both the slow pace of decisions on applications to ship U.S. liquefied natural gas abroad and the process for making those decisions could be challenged, legal sources say.
Potential strategies could be laid out during a House of Representatives panel on Tuesday, which will focus on the current impediments to U.S. LNG exports.
The surge in shale gas production has helped make the United States a leading natural gas-producing nation, and potentially a major exporter. The Obama administration has cautiously embraced the energy boom, while promising to protect the economy from major price spikes from gas exports.
LNG exports are allowed to only a few countries with free-trade agreements with the United States. But others, including large consumers like Japan and India and those outside free-trade pacts, are keen to buy U.S. gas if the DOE approves.

“The current rate of approval – one every two years – doesn’t offer much hope or clarity for future exports.”

The $5 billion Sabine Pass LNG project
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=LNG_Terminals
Swag estimate 20% of cost will be onsite labor. (would like to hear real world % for large project)
All the workers are golden arm welders with a package price of $100 per hour. (keep it simple)
No OT a straight 2000 hrs. 200K / worker/year.
ONE BILLION Dollars = 5000 workers for one year.
As the paychecks are cashed and spent the funds echo through the economy producing more work/jobs.
