That there is such a thing as LNG means we're in a bad place.

The expense to liquefy, transport, and warm LNG has got to be a lot.

There is enough oil in the world, spread about in convenient ways, that pipelines for NG (not LNG) should be sufficient to supply the needs of the world.

Why can't Europe get all the natural gas or oil it needs from Norway? Why can't we get all our natural gas and oil from the US, Canada, and Mexico?

In the mid 1970’s, US flagged LNG carriers shipped LNG from Indonesia to Japan. Several of my friends worked on those vessels-they made good money and worked four months on and two months off (maybe four off as well).
