"A study commissioned by the Energy Department concluded last year
that exporting natural gas would benefit the U.S. economy even if it
led to higher domestic prices for the fuel."

So, how do higher gas prices benefit me, or even my company? My
company burns gas for several things in our processes. It would only
act to raise our costs.

I kind of suspect that the only people that will benefit are the
producers.

It would also benefit all of the owners of the mineral rights.

Deeper inspection of that thought may reveal a different outcome, or
outcomes.

Uncle Sam owns alot...does he get more?

I hadn't thought of that, nor did I consider the tax input for
exports because I do not know what that might amount to.

Still, in these days of waning hydrocarbon fuel supply, one wonders
about the overall good.

Hello? This is from the same gargantuan government that tells you
"“Each $5 dollars in new SNAP benefits generates almost twice that
amount in economic activity for the community,” the USDA says".

Who cares if it doesn't benefit you or your company? It's apparently
for the economy. The common good.



It's worth considering before you vote again.

FWIW, here's an article from Processing Magazine:
<http://www.processingmagazine.com/articles/125654-new-study-reveals-economic-benefits-of-lng-exports>

I wonder about the overall benefits still. We'd be doing the same
thing that Saudi Arabia did; enriching a few, and selling off our
natural resources. Not sure if that is good or not.

Hey JJ,

'just one tank left. The girls grew tired of theirs so they hit
the curb and were sold. There's still one...a species tank with
Convict Cichlids. They are industrious, entertaining, VERY fertile
and tremendous parents. The parenting part becomes an issue from time
to time. A mating pair will defend to the death their fry and there is
an occasional casualty. 8-(

About every six months, I post to craigslist that I have a bunch
free to a good home in order to thin out the herd.

It's still awfully easy...about 10 minutes a week (max) and maybe
an hour every 2-3 months.

How's everything in your world?

They are 16 and 13 now! And they are the apple's of my eye. What
blessings they are.

We'll be in Amelia Island next Sun-Wed. What's that, 3 hours away
from you?
