The rhetoric of the GOP regarding exporting gas to Europe is simply that rhetoric.

The infrastructure doesn't exist. Kindly note this is as of February 21, 2014.

You can't float natural gas by hot air balloon either, it is heavier than air.

The approval of import terminals need to stop and/or be severely slowed. We don't need them. I mean according to the petroleum industry the USA is energy independent now, right? 

Export has to occur with LNG (liquid natural gas). Propane doesn't ship well. The export terminals have to be curtailed otherwise the USA will look like Swiss cheese. Nothing against Switzerland. Even "America's Got Talent" loves yodeling. Country-Western no less. Interesting, isn't it?

This throw down the gauntlet mess has to stop. See, this is war and a threat to a global economy that establishes peace and balance of trade. When so called emergencies are declared you can count on government cutting all the corners and put American communities in danger.

The ONLY reason to expand any export of energy is because of a growing population that requires it. Right now, the 0.1% has every electorate in the USA convinced they have to make hay while the sunshines. The only way commodity prices stabilize is by exporting and importing ACCORDING to the needs of the population.

One might recall the GOP likes a 'supply side' economy. Bush instituted it by outsourcing American jobs and importing beyond any trade balance from China, creating a huge trade deficit while imploding the tax base by robbing good wages from the Middle Class.

If that isn't enough for you, what did Bush seek to inspire? Socially. What did he seek to inspire? This is a no brainer.

Supply side economics needs what in order to thrive? DEMAND. Supply side economics in order to work needs demand. Will advertisements alone increase demand?

Hell, no.

Bush promoted large families and lack of contraception. It is all based in greed and economics. Supply side economics REQUIRES a large investment in WAREHOUSING. So, the DEMAND has to JUSTIFY it. Supply side economics ANTICIPATES it's market and produces product to match it. Who has the capital to establish supply side economics? Wall Street. Investors. Anticipated profits will bring investors to the supply side economics. It is a cheap economy that pays shit, but, what does Wall Street care as long as they are making money. 

What happens with supply side economics and mass production? We saw under Bush.

As supply side economics takes over the face of Wall Street the companies lagging in production will increase their production and if it doesn't have the cash flow to do it a couple of things happen. What are they? 

First cut wages, then cut costs by reducing quality and then if all else fails mergers and buy outs by companies like Bain and Goldman and all that mess all over again. How did the 0.1% get where it is now? Yep. Bush.

Demand side economics is far more possible for whom? 

Small businesses and local start ups. Demand side works for the Middle Class and local economies. Market share is measured, production put into place, quality matters because of competition and high quality workers for production is necessary to win a PORTION of the market. Supply side economics REQUIRES far larger market share than demand side economics.

What company PROVES demand side economics works beyond any imagination?

TESLA.

The company's initial offerings were blunted in sales by corrupt intervention to oppress the company, why? 

Because "Tesla" could actually produce one vehicle at a time, it didn't require petroleum and the possibility it's engineering was 'spot on' was very high. It also had investment monies from the government to increase it's expertise and expand it's demand. 

"Tesla" found a way to market it's ingenious engineering miracle when everyone stated it could not be done and now the company is looking to produce a less expensive vehicle that is affordable by far more consumers than currently purchase their product.

Tesla is also looking at export markets as well.

So, the moral to all this is that simply throwing support of exploitative energy procurement is nothing more than corruption. If the product is not under demand don't produce it. If a glut of oil reaches the markets it will be a weapon and not a commodity designed to destroy economies while producing instability in 'traditional' USA enemies. The current tensions between The East and The West is in anticipation of the destruction of their economies and loss of their sovereignty.

Aspiring LNG project (click here) developer Liquefied Natural Gas is close to scoring a coup over its many larger rivals in the crowded US gas export sector, expecting to reach a milestone within weeks in the complex regulatory process for its $US3.5 billion terminal venture in Louisiana.
Managing director Maurice Brand said the critical filing with the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for the Magnolia LNG terminal was on track to be made in April, setting the first phase of the project on track for a potential final go-ahead in 2015.
LNG Ltd's progress on its Magnolia project comes as pressure builds on the US government to accelerate the pace of approvals of gas exports, especially in the wake of the crisis in Crimea that could threaten Russian exports to Europe....
