Serious question, this is survey of a true koolaid drinking backstabbing gloBULList like yourself. Can you tell me if you have progeny and if so do you fear for your nation and their future? (I think the USA is your country technically but I could be wrong what difference does it make? Borders mean nothing right? ).
your argument makes sense. We need to keep our natural gas.
If permits are opened up, we can EASILY produce more than enough natural gas for our own needs. Beyond that, prices do not lower further, because it does not make sense for energy companies to go after gas to sell into an over-supplied market. So, the correct course is to turn the spigot full on, and sell the excess to Europe.
Even if gas prices ended up a little higher here - and believe me, after this winter’s energy bills and shortages in this area I am plenty sensitive to that! - the price in the end is far less than not giving the Euros’ an alternative supply to Russia. And as pointed out, a consistent positive balance of trade would benefit the US economy greatly.
It has nothing to do with taking underpants.
As long as we ramp up production (permits) faster than exports + additional uses here, and stop with the war on clean coal usage, prices will be ok. However, you make an excellent point: Encouraging the Mexicans to develop their reserves is a win-win in most ways, and if we can assist them with that, we should.
What's that?

agree but those are a lot of caveats
