A new report from Charles River Associates adds to the growing list of studies that warn against the dangers of unrestricted exports. According to the report, US Manufacturing and LNG Exports: Economic Contributions to the US Economy and Impacts on US Natural Gas Prices, allowing unchecked exports would have a direct negative impact on US employment, manufacturing, and the economy due in large part to a vast increase in the cost of natural gas. Some of the key findings of…

In a recent op-ed to the Wall Street Journal, Dow Chemical chairman and CEO Andrew Liveris, calls for a balanced approach to shale gas exports, focusing on its impact on the manufacturing industry and families in the United States. If oil and gas producers had it their way, they would export as much natural gas to foreign economies as they could in order to increase their profits. But is this in the best interest of our nation? Andrew Liveris doesn’t…

Have you seen the new Purdue University study on LNG exports? Wallace Tyner, the University’s James and Lois Ackerman Professor and accomplished energy economist, questioned the methods and findings of the NERA study on LNG exports, so he and his team conducted a study of their own. They used more accurate models and data sets, and found that increasing natural gas exports will actually result in a decline in GDP. Tyner’s report stressed that the most important thing to know…

Can you imagine an energy self-sufficient North America by 2020? How about another 1 million new jobs created in the energy sector by 2017? Is another $348 billion added to the United States GDP in one year from natural gas possible? According to many energy experts, the answer is a resounding yes. A recent column published in Reuters says the U.S. has low-cost natural gas to thank for a manufacturing boom that is driving a competitive advantage for companies that…

In the early 2000s, the U.S. was on track to become an importer of natural gas as resources ran low with numerous plans to build multibillion-dollar LNG import facilities up and down the country’s coastlines. Now, the ability to access natural gas trapped in shale rock formations, using technologies such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, has led to a surge in natural gas supplies that have lowered American gas prices to a fraction of prices in other countries. This…
