DOE natural gas analysis draws disbelief from Republicans, industry

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(The Center Square) – The future of U.S. liquified natural gas exports remains complicated as the incoming Trump administration will have to contend with a recent Department of Energy analysis now open for public comment.

The study offers a justification for the Biden administration’s indefinite pause on new LNG export sites back in January, claiming that increasing LNG exports would not only increase greenhouse gas and methane emissions but also inflict economic damage.

The results could hinder Trump’s plan to approve new LNG natural gas export terminals, part of his goal to reestablish American energy independence.

While the analysis admits that increasing LNG exports would generate revenue and create jobs across the natural gas supply chain, it simultaneously holds that the average American household would face 30% higher gas prices.

1. It isn't 'disbelief'...

...it's bought and paid for denial.

2. Good grief! The US will NEVER have "energy independence"

We export the grades of fossil fuels we have in surplus (natural gas and very light crude from fracking) and import grades (like heavy crude from Venezuela) we need to make all the petroleum PRODUCTS we use. Yes, we make things other than gasoline from petroleum. Who knew!

The cheap natural gas we get from fracking is also why we aren't burning as much coal! We don't need "clean coal" when we have cleaner, cheaper natural gas!
