Eastern Europe is Pleading for American Made Energy

The comment that this would take ‘years’ is mostly bogus. Within twelve months...

There are several companies that would pay you millions for the information of how to engineer, manufacture and construct a cryogenic methane liquefaction plant that can proccess billions of cubic feet per day in less than a year.

RE: US Natural Gas/Energy for US consumers, sorry Europe go find your own supplies.

Are we to extend this logic to -— US produced goods for US consumers only?

[thackney]

2 LNG terminals in Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana just waiting to accommodate Europe with plentiful natural.

Those have vaporization and storage facilities. The liquefaction process units are not built, yet.

“Couldn’t Norway export gas to Eastern Europe?
How much gas do they produce? Where does it go?”

Norway sells most of it’s gas to the UK, France, Germany and Sweden.

At one point this winter, the UK was down to just a 6 day supply of natural gas.

But the possibilities are being stifled.

B0 Soebarkah will offer to send Europe an American windmill (made in China).

[Dagnabitt]

And now Israel is coming on line as a gas exporter. Just signed a deal to sell to Jordan (easy and cheap route), LNG or pipelines to Europe should be next.

That's a two-fer to drive the Eurolefties nuts: Hydrocarbons and the Zionist-entity.

Until we can design a Nuclear Plant that will not “melt down” with a sudden and total lose of power (including cooling power) then nuclear is just a horrible accident waiting to happen. We will need something like a thorium reactor to make nuclear power safe.

Imagine a solar storm or some other disaster taking out the US grid, now imagine 100 Fukushima’s happening all across the USA. No thank you.

There is only so much natural gas, once it’s gone it’s gone.

[henkster]

Yes, it’s happened so often...

NOT.

[jpsb]

Just because something has not happened does not mean it can’t happen. Fukushima and Chernobyl happened. One or two bad events we can deal with, 100’s in a short period of time, grid goes out, we can not deal with. Just about everyone would die. I like nuclear, once we make it fail safe that is.

[thackney]

Both the Freeport and the Sabine Pass export facilities have been approved.

Asia will outbid Europe for LNG from the US.

Asian spot LNG prices are running around US$18 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), while European LNG cargoes go for around US$10 per mmBtu.

RE: There is only so much natural gas, once it’s gone it’s gone.

You might want to open your mind up and consider other theories:

Are we sitting on unlimited fossil-fuel resources?

[thackney]

If gas hydrates as well as shale gas, tight oil, oil sands and other unconventional sources can be tapped at reasonable cost...

That has proved to be a rather big IF.

Within a year, nine out of 10 Americans could be dead. And whatever causes the national apocalypse—be it North Korean malice or the whims of the sun—the downfall will ultimately be our own fault.

That's the fear of Newt Gingrich and other members of a high-profile coalition who are convinced that our fragile electrical grid could be wiped out at any moment.

Their concern? Electromagnetic pulses, the short bursts of energy—caused by anything from a nuclear blast to a solar flare—that can wreak havoc on electrical systems on a massive scale. And the coalition believes it's coming soon.
