This is the still the free USA and there is no collective ownership of gas as you imply when you say OUR gas. The owners sold their gas and shipped it out. You are of course free to buy gas and sell it overseas if you wish and become part of that mysterious elite class of Americans known as owners. Its easy to do via the stock exchanges. Youll get filthy rich right?
The lesson of shale should re-explain to even so called Freepers (many who seem to prefer government diktat) that profit is a good thing and that it will drive supply up until the excess profit is gone. Selling overseas helps assure profitability for the owners and makes them willing to invest.
Its not a mystery and the opportunity to get rich is available to all to invest in oil and gas. Of course so is going broke. Or just complain about others who take the risk.
“when you say OUR gas”...
Saying “our gas” was not intended or about ownership, it meant produced her in the U.S.
Hope that clears it up for you.
