Hope everyone is getting their ducks in a row with winterizing and stocking up on consumables.

lol we have so much gas they burn it off to get rid of it. Go to west Texas at night and you will see the flames rising into the air.

Why should our federal government allow export quantities of our natural gas to be high enough to force domestic prices up to foreign price levels?

Agree with this post. Natural gas is currently up 80% from this time last year. (See https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/commodities/ng%3anmx, choose the 1Y graph, move cursor over far left of graph to 8/13/2020, you'll see that it was $2.182 and is currently $3.933).

This is one of the reasons I put a large solar system onto my house and I'm taking bids on replacing my two gas appliances with electric ones. I can't stand the Dims' push to force states and utilities to be "all green" -- that means all green for their cronies but more red to consumers for less reliable energy. But I live in a place that gets lots of sunshine and I installed a solar system customized for my specific power consumption (not a one-size-fits-all model like the Dims push).

I currently produce over 70% of all the power I consume. So at least with electricity, I'm mostly removed from the effects of Obama's and Biden's push to force my power company to switch some of their coal production to natural gas, then Biden banning some fracking and jacking up the cost of natural gas (which jacks up my power rate). After I convert my gas appliances to electric, shut off my gas service, and study my electricity usage for a year or so, I may decide to upgrade my solar capability. I don't think I'll ever be 100% solar: when you get to 70% independent any increase above that means a high cost for little return on investment. But after my current system has paid for itself in about 12 years (sooner if the Dims keep jacking up energy costs), anything I save above that I'll put to upgrading my system.

It has taken the so-called “progressives” (Quisling America Last Surrender Monkeys) a lot of effort to reach this point.

Natural gas: cheap, abundant, easily transferred, highly efficient, huge domestic supply, burns clean -- a wonderful source of energy.

And yet the communists are doing everything possible to destroy the natural gas industry.

So does this mean I should hold off on installing that nat gas emergency standby home generator?

Disallowing the usage of NG in homes to heat water and run furnaces is a crime against humanity. In WA state they are proud to do this, as we shut down coal power plants and replace them with wind and solar. These people are not wrong, they are evil. The reason is, they know AGW is BS and it is a simple control device to kill of more of the older generation. These people need to be eliminated from the face of the Earth. THEY are the useless eaters.
