VX would probably work better.
They have that severe flatulence in Wyoming that they can weaponize it? Just damn!
yea yea I can move back to Pinedale where there exists the most beautiful scenery ever,,,in my opinion
some people have been using gas as a “weapon” very effectively for a long, long time.
My wife forced me to register as a weapon of mass disgustion...Just because...;-)
Whoah. Exporting OUR natural gas is a weapon against us Americans. It increases profits for the gas companies. Or did I get this wrong?
I always thought all the drilling we tout was about making America energy self sufficient, and not Europe or not the Ukraine. This globalism is completely against American interest and the sooner most understand the sooner we can bring the USA back.
The same Sxbs that sold out our America jobs now want to sell out the possibility of recreating them due to low USA nat gas energy costs. The bankers that screwed up and cost us trillions in a bailout and who own our two Party government now want to front run the trade on natural gas to their benefit only and to America’s loss.
When we start seeing crooks in government being held accountable (and my version is much more severe than most) we’ll start seeing an end to this corruption.

Her first name is John?
Increasing our exports will provide jobs and an economic boom to the USA. Increasing profits for gas companies means increasing profits for Americans who work for those American companies. What do you have against profit?
Thanks Tailgunner Joe.
But don’t you think we should just pour the water in OUR end of the pool? ;-)
I don’t care about Russia, nor the Ukraine, nor Europe especially when the offset is about less for America. The ability to make the USA competitive again in the world economy should be number one.
Cheap energy for American industry should mean more than profits for global drillers. The globalist economy is not the American economy. Wall St is not the American economy.
The quest by globalist corporations to end national sovereignty is the opposite of conservatism.
Interesting you think you have ownership of the mineral rights of private individuals. Or of the gas produced by companies after significant investment and risk of their capital. And you can tell them who they are allowed to sell to.
Do I have your perspective correct, comrade?
We wouldn't want to do that. They might create more jobs, pay more dividends, more taxes.
The bankers that screwed up and cost us trillions in a bailout
The bank portion of TARP made a huge profit for the Treasury.
imho this is a good argument for running the keystone pipeline and encouraging the Mexicans to develop their immense natural gas deposits. However, its not a good argument for the US to start exporting lots of natural gas because higher exports will raise the price of natural gas and kill the US manufacturing edge that lower natural gas prices bring.
And some savvy consumers also recognize that these nat gas exports are going to drive up the cost of home heating and electricity.
So where do we stand on this. Since we have a trade agreement with Mexico, US producers are exporting record amounts to Mexico.
Otherwise, a permit is required and Obama granted the 7th nat gas export permit 5 days ago to Veresen for an export facility in Oregon. Dominion also has a export permit in Maryland and the other 5 are on the Gulf Coast. The Cheniere facility is scheduled to come online in 2015.
Total permitted volume is now 9.27 billion cubic feet per day.
There are probably another 30 companies that have applied for permits and you can find the list at the Energy Dept website.
All of this has been in place for 2-3 years but since events with Russia have taken place many are saying more permits need to be approved faster.
When gas and oil companies start losing money selling their product to my fellow Americans, let me know.
Please post your references.
American trade deficits are horrible!!!
Whatever we do, don't export natural gas to reduce them. LOL!
Did you up your intake of paint chips lately?
