Europe Begging for US Natural Gas

Is the tide turning? Will our anti-petro administration permit it? And, will it increase pressure on the EPA to allow more distilleries and export facilities?

4 nations urge US gas exports amid Ukraine crisis

WASHINGTON (AP) — Four Central European nations are urging the United States to boost natural gas exports to Europe as a hedge against the possibility that Russia could cut off its supply of gas to Ukraine.

And, the next question is – when will the US start using more and efficient way to use the energy source it appears we have in mind-bending amounts?

We should be keeping our resources for our own use.

U.S. natural gas would first have to be liquified before being shipped over. Doesn't seem real efficient or cost effective for Europeans.

Will Obama Allow Export of LPG to Europe?

An interesting question with a variety of answers and reasoning @ Doug Ross @ Journal: EXPORTING GAS TO EUROPE WOULD BE A HUGE VICTORY FOR THE WEST: Which explains why Obama won't do it

My question is; if we are showing such an abundance, why would we NOT be allowed to export? It means $$$ for the companies, the workers, and those who service them.

NG is shipped world wide everyday,so yes its is.

Not cost effective for Europeans, as LNG is at a 5 year high in price.

But, if Obozo allowed it, it would be a massive windfall for the USA!!!

 

[Mr. H.]

There are quite a few applications that have been submitted to the DOE by companies wishing to export U.S. natural gas...

To longknife: Exactly so.

I’m not sure of the economics involved in pipelines and vessels.

Gas is liquified under extreme pressure or taken down to absolute zero (minus 459.67 Fahrenheit).

Here’s a picture of the preferred type of LNG ship:

Here’s another design:

But OMG what would be the carbon footprint?

The hypocrisy from all the tree huggers in Europe really makes this funny. And what will really crack me up is if the Darryl Hannah's of the west agree to this and still have the freaking balls to campaign against the Keystone.
