Reasons to NOT export liquid
natural gas:
- Global Warming
- The price of the gas we use to heat our homes will rocket to international prices.
- A terrorist attack on a liquid natural gas tank farm or liquid natural gas tanker is like a Hiroshima A bomb without the radiation.
American Gas companies sell fracking gas domestically for
about $2 per million BTUs. They can sell it to India and China for about $12
million BTUs.
Once the Dominion Cove Point Liquefaction and Export
facility near Baltimore, MD goes into operation the price you pay to heat your
home in Coatesville or West Chester will go up 3 times or more to international
levels.
Natural gas prices dropped below $2 per million BTUs last year. As a result, electric utilities switched from coal to cleaner natural gas, which emits less carbon when burned.
