What I would do is repower some of the 800+ dams east of the Mississippi that the DOE listed as cost effective electricity producers if brought back online or retrofitted with modern generators.
Then the gas could be used for heat, electricity and for sale.
+ on the damns and everything else, hell, put those coal plants back online.
All the hyperbole about horizontal drilling and fracking of new wells is not all the truth. Yes, it is fantastic and what the awl field hands have done is nothing less that fantastic. It does result in high production rates per well. But those rates decline much faster than originally thought and projections for future production reserves may need a newer estimation. What I am saying is production will eventually decline faster than we can drill new wells, once again placing us in a less dominate position.
So that is why I say the hell with selling it overseas, keep it here for us. If nothing else than to keep a moderately priced method of residential and commercial heating. Otherwise we will be like those in the northeastern US that pay $1500.00/month to heat their houses with heating oil. I kinda like my $80.00 NG heating bill last month here in west Texas.
