Freeze Your Asses Off In The Dark
It’s those pesky Russians again.
Freeze them or bankrupt them!
Good choices for us. Not so good for the Eurotrashers wanting to be warm.
Of course with Gorebull Warming, they may not need our NG!
I am 66 and the weather/climate is the same here in Texas as it was 66 years ago. No hotter, no colder. Summers are HOT, Winters are COLD, Spring and Fall can vary but usually pretty nice. I don’t see any change. I have read about 45 books on climate, so far....
Allow Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovakia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic purchase our LNG. Nothing west of the Polish/Slovakian/Czech borders.
The most important energy issue in the world, for any country, is not CO2 emissions, but energy independence. And if you can’t be energy independent, to have a multiplicity of energy sources so you aren’t beholden to any one supplier.
We are already essentially energy independent in fuel for electrical generation, coal and natural gas. With some effort we could become independent in transportation fuels, or at least independent of sources outside our hemisphere.
Wind and solar don’t replace transportation fuels. They don’t even replace coal and natural gas.
Good strategery...
Pres. Trump rained on their profiteering parade. Boo hoo.
Now is the time for the US to export LNG to Europe in order to:
Supply Europe with clean gas and drive them out of Putin’s clutches(who is presently Europe’s main supplier of gas)
Take advantage of the higher LNG world demand(we will be supplying LNG to China also)
Increase the number of jobs in the field of LNG engineering and construction in the US.(LNG liquefaction facilities, pipelines and coastal export facilities).
LNG = MAGA!
Right now I am sitting on a small Lake in NEPA in the center of the fracking revolution, 10 miles north is Southern Tier of New York, which sits on the thickest (and potentially the richest) part of the Marcellus Shale. But because of Il Duce Jr. His Royal Snideness Prince Andrew Cuomo fiat decision to ban fracking in the most depressed areas of an already horribly overtaxed and under performing Upstate New York. It is sickening to listen to my scanner and hear overdose after overdose, some saved, too many lost. The “Progressives” in New York have strangled the state and created a mafia like economy, dictated by a Queens thug with no personality and no morals.
Someday justice will reign, but I hope to hell I am long gone from here, which hurts deeply as this was my Hometown, as it was Rod Serlings... we truly live in the Twilight Zone.
You hit it in the head with the southern tier. They could be having a manufacturing Renaissance with cheap natural gas piped right into the building but Gov. Cueball won’t allow it. The potential for thousnads of good middle class jobs goes down the crapper.
Many areas of Rural Upstate NY is destined to be tabacco road for a long time to come.
Valero has been building deep water terminals to accommodate super tankers for several years.
Thatcher was more interested in the contracts for GEC that the pipeline would generate, not how Europe would be more energy-dependent on the USSR.
US authorises LNG export from offshore JV with India
Exports in the amount of 1.8 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas are approved from Delfin LNG's proposed offshore Louisiana floating terminal, the Department of Energy said.
Exports in the amount of 1.8 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas are approved from Delfin LNG's proposed offshore Louisiana floating terminal, the Department of Energy said.
"I am pleased that with this authorisation that the administration can continue to strengthen the US as a dominant energy force with further exports of our abundant amounts of natural gas," US Energy Secretary Rick Perry said in a statement.
"Investing in American natural gas not only helps our economy and our jobs, but also helps our allies maintain their energy security. This represents a true win-win for everyone involved," Perry said.
With the rapid increase in domestic natural gas production, the US is transitioning to become a net exporter of natural gas, the Department of Energy said.
With this approval, the Department of Energy has authorised a total of 21 Bcf/d of natural gas exports to non- free trade agreement (non-FTA) countries from planned facilities in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, and now, with Delfin, from the Gulf of Mexico.
The Delfin project would further position the US to become the predominant LNG supplier to the rest of the world, it said.
Delfin is targeting an in-service date in 2021/2022.
The Department determined that exports from the Delfin LNG terminal, jointly owned by the India and Singapore-based Fairwood Group and the US-based Peninsula group, for a period of 20 years, was not inconsistent with the public interest.
Noting that America's shale reserves have generated economic growth and jobs across the US, the Department of Energy said utilising this clean energy source has also enabled the US to achieve the largest drop in carbon emissions of all countries in 2016.
Department of Energy is eager to bring this clean burning resource and its benefits to all of its international trading partners, a media statement said. "Perry will take this message to Japan, and then to China for the Clean Energy and Mission Innovation ministerials, where he plans to strengthen the US-China LNG export partnership and continue working together towards a clean and affordable energy future," it said.
The Energy Department conducted an extensive review of the Delfin LNG, LLC application.
Among other factors, the Department considered the economic, energy security, and environmental impacts, including macroeconomic studies that showed positive benefits to the US economy in scenarios with LNG exports up to 28 Bcf/d.
Weuroweenies slamming Trump: Good rule of thumb to know he’s looking out for America.
The beauty of Trump is he doesn’t give a rat’s @$$ what people think.
Out 3 weeks ago I got into a nasty pissing match with a Fr-er who will remain nameless because I don't remember their tag, about Ivanka & Jared. I told them you didn't get them and the end result is we will end up selling Europe more Natural Gas! LOL !!!!
BL....
You are well read. All the countries you mentioned if I am not mistaken said no to “Refugees”. Reward them with LNG, Brilliant. They are Catholic and want to keep their culture. I have read some you mentioned have Shale formations and will eventually get to fracking...
My best, Taildragger
Well at least NY isn't like CT and IL @ Junk Bond status.... Yet.
Seriously I have friends in Up State and it is a bleeping shame what he is doing to those good folks. If he decided to all fracking in Up-State, the state of NY could go energy self-sufficient for starters. Or, with water close by why not large vessels to convert it to LNG for export? Heck grain ships go to Maumee OH to load up, and head overseas, why not from Up-State even if it means a small pipeline..
