The chief executives of both companies, Andrew Liveris for Dow and Wendell Weeks for Corning, are members of the president’s manufacturing council. Trump said he would disband that council Wednesday after a number of members quit in the wake of his comments about white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville, Virginia.

You billionaire industrialists sure showed Trump a thing or two by making big publicity in bailing out of the president's economic councils. Go talk to Antifa and see if they give you any sympathy.

There is a glut of gas already, plus a lot in the ground that hasn't been touched. I doubt shipping the gas will affect the cost much.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

All the LNG terminals and ships that could conceivably be built wouldn’t make a 1/4 of 1% difference in the amount of available natural gas. This is a complete nothing.

Well, boo freekin’ hoo.

It is not the job of the US government to guarantee below market rate energy to businesses.

We are kicking the Russian’s and Saudi’s teeth in with these LNG projects. This is a very good thing.

Call me a cynic, but I suspect Russian influence behind this request. We are freeing the Baltic states and Eastern Europe from the tyranny of the Russian’s energy monopoly. We should have done this a long, long time ago.

Sorry, we are free to sell gas all over the world

For those companies who may be too comfortable with crony capitalism, it’s weening off time. It is time to use American ingenuity, hard work, imagination and a can-do attitude. American industry will have to DESERVE the American consumer. Quit belly aching.......get it done.

How is us exporting undercutting jobs? Between their support of export taxes through income tax and illegal immigrants and now this, I am starting to think the corporations want more corporate welfare and prevent
domestic production from interfering with import international businesses helping China

Chamber of
commerce behind this?

[clearcarbon]

Are those domestic manufacturer customers of petrochemicals going to pass along the cost savings to their customers, like the buyers of tires?

[mosesdapoet]

Interesting position. Was it because of Trump’s energy policy being opposed because it abandons exclusive protectionism that Trump felt it was necessary to shut down those councils ?

[norwaypinesavage]

This is nothing but Fake News. Any organization asking the government to interfere in free enterprise does not represent the way this nation was founded and does not deserve my support.

An interesting sidebar to this is something I never even gave a thought about - if government ran this, they wouldn't have made the innovations to the ships :
