Texas Eagle, I just saw your profile. And Psalm 37. So apt and applicable to many situations and examples, but for this very topic as well. Thank you.

Russians thought Hillary is going to win anyway and did what they did just to stir up trouble. That is why they did things like support Black Lives Matter and guiding them toward radicalization ... just to create conflicts between Americans.

There is another huge advantage with natural gas and I think it is the main advantage. You can turn the amount of electricity generated up and down very easily by just regulating how much gas you burn. This is important for stabilizing the electric grid. Other power sources can’t be adjusted so quickly.

I'm all for reviving, if not expanding by 3-fold, our capability for producing another Arsenal of Democracy, and to do it just because we can. However, the world should not know how highly capable we really are. Not everything should be knowable just by following any money trail(s). Anti-American globalists believe that anything classified as being "Top Secret" should be known to the press, the American people and therefore, the entire world. We even have people in Congress who also believe this, however mistakenly.

And all that surplus natural gas explains why coal is falling out of favor for power plant fuel.

Meanwhile, coal exports are booming. The Coal ETF KOL doing good

Trump may be the first president since Reagan to say something and actually mean it.

If that involves natural gas, why? The Saudis at their oil fields used to burn off petroleum gas all the time, and that gas could easily be converted to natural gas for power plants all over that country.

Thanks for the confirmation. If Hitlery had stolen the election, that headline would read, “Russia inks deals in Saudi Arabia expanding dominance in the region.”
