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? ).
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.
What's that?
