Times like this I wish had a few billion dollars.
I would make those ports, build those containers and blow the mothballs out of the several liquification plants that are sitting around.
Drill baby drill proved itself capable of altering the world economy.
We need to free up the Oil&Gas Industry
FERC denies Jordan Cove gas export project
A federal commission on Friday denied an Oregon pipeline and liquefied natural gas export project, in a blow that reverberates all the way to western Colorado’s

Piceance Basin and a victory for Oregon landowners and environmentalists.
In a 25-page order, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission denied the proposed Jordan Cove LNG export terminal and the 232-mile Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline. Boosters of western Colorado’s natural gas industry had looked to the project as a new outlet for shipping Piceance Basin gas overseas, creating a new market at a time when local producers are struggling with low domestic natural gas prices.
We no longer engage in slavery on our shores, but we've recently gone that way offshore. Why is Chinese labor so cheap?
Back in the 90's when we were in the software business we hired a guy from China. He told us that they basically treat their factory laborers as slaves, pay them with a bowl of rice a day and work them until they drop dead. And there's never a shortage of workers willing to replace the dead ones. Of course, that was 20 years ago. May be different now. But the labor is still cheap. And I think it's cheaper yet in Vietnam.
Converting coal fired power plants to clean burning natural seems like such a great idea until the price of Natural Gas suddenly skyrockets as it has before.
“The story of the history of the United States is one of innovations and infrastructure working in tandem to forge new trade channels and routes. Some were abhorrent, like the triangle trade, which involved slaves and agricultural materials.”
America was founded in the late 16th century?
The trading system operated from the late 16th to early 19th centuries, carrying slaves, cash crops, and manufactured goods between West Africa, Caribbean or American colonies and the European colonial powers.
Another swipe at the US even if unintended. Which I doubt.
Lifting the ban was stupid.
American consumers will be gouged to lower the price of natural gas for Europe and the EU insider traders, undercutting Russian gas.
You get to make Soros and EU elites rich, and "punish" Russia at your expense, too.
Countries that do nothing but export natural resources end up as poor third world nations in the long run. We should be using our own natural resources to build useful goods.
The Euro market is always hungry for natural gas. Russia has a very prominent position in that market, and the Saudis want in.
I am attentive, but a relative neophyte. The more that I learn about energy policy, the more of what happens in the the world makes sense.
FRACKING A!!
I wish more cars were running on natural gas, keep them TRILLIONS of dollars here instead of sending it to countries that want to kill us AND, what would that do for our economy? AND theirs??
Biggest traitor Chesapeake Oil. They were almost bankrupt until they started the Chinese sell out.
The Obama Administration never said no like the Bush administration.
Now Chesapeake Oil is rolling in the dough or Yen or whatever the Chinese equivalent of the $$ is
Yes it means Americans will pay more for natural gas. thanks a lot.
