I thought exporting was a Good Thing.
They own us... What do you expect?
Who is ‘They?’
There are literally a million gas wells in southern New York State. . . all capped. Wonder why that is? My son used to paint them during summer recess from college.
It would be nice to see it used in a manner to offset oil imports, but if there’s no domestic use for it - export it!
Today I talked to a guy whose former company - a large trucking company - shut down a 40 person accounting dept and shipped it to India. So I mentioned this to a girl I know where I work and she said it’s been discussed in our company as well.
Really, what will be left???
The woman is utterly ignorant to think that the gas should only be used to heat local homes. And it’s also blind to not see how even if THAT gas isn’t used in HER area,, why it isn’t a massive benefit to her.
Taxes pour into the local base,,local people who own the land get paid well. SHE gets paid rent for the pipeline on her land. Guys like her son get paying blue collar jobs (i heard the steel mills closed?) , now he buys a house, a car, a dinner out. The price for the gas she DOES use drops because the overall supply increases, her NATION benefits.
Tell her to grow up, or maybe read a book.
PS,, i don’t know how to break it to her,, but those chocolate bars they make in Hershey,,They ain’t all ate in Pennsylvania either.
The same options that confronted the Founding Fathers in the 1770's.
I agree. She also needs to understand that natural gas is everywhere. There’s a LOT of it. If we can sell it, why not ?
She does not have to let the pipeline go over her property. But her neighbor might.
I fault the people in charge for not explaining to her exactly what will be happening.
Shale gas has produced an excess of natural gas.
Why would anyone object to exporting anything we have more of than we can use? I am taking this story with a grain of salt, maybe the lady doesn’t own the minerals under her place and was needing something to complain about.
I am hoping we smart up enough to start running our cars and trucks with CNG and use all the excess gas we can produce, but with nobama nothing good or to our benefit is going to happen.

Agreed,, i get impatient! But yes,,, someone should have explained this to the nice lady who im sure means well.
You know,, there was a time when they made these movie shorts,, you see em on TCM sometimes even. “WHere does that egg come from?”,,, “Why you should participate in the Census?” etc etc...
Today, they do not want an educated populace.

Here in New York, the State Assembly has basically stopped any increase in gas production by banning “fracking” while it “studies” the issue. So we here certainly aren’t benefitting from an abundance of gas in Upstate. We would be lucky to have jobs and income from sales domestic - or international. This woman should be happy her local politicians have screwed it up.
And boy do they taste like it. I swear the last one I had was bitter.
