Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free....
This is the problem with America now. We have huge resources of energy right here. But we're so eager to get the energy from the countries that don't really like us. But they do like our money. Oilfield service companies are laying off big time due to the oversupply of energy here. They're not putting any additional, or if any at all, tariffs on imports. Eventually, we are going to be totally dependent on the people that Obama bows to.
Sure....
But think about it. Although I do not like the piracy thing, If they took hostage a LNG tanker frequently, the cost of importing cheap gas would skyrocket. A "catch 22".
Sorry, that's just my sense of humor. (And I do apologize to anyone else offended.) My thought was to thwart the LNG, use up gas in storage, start driving up ng prices so companies have $$$$ for E&P, and get this HS show on the road.
ha, ha, ha I like that. (PS - You might want to keep that idea to yourself for future use. Keith likes making websites. I think it's the coffee. LOL I'm going to be so busted!)
IMO, and I'm not an expert, just an everyday person doing a lot of reading, there's still too much RD&D to be done on renewables, we want/need transition now.
