As a drilling boom continues in Texas and other states, the U.S. finds itself with so much natural gas that some companies now want to export domestic fuels abroad.

Today, the federal Department of Energy (DOE) announced approval of a second facility, the Freeport LNG Terminal on Quintana Island, to export natural gas in liquid form to countries not party to free trade agreements with the U.S. That would mean that gas-hungry markets like Japan could start buying natural gas from Texas ports at much higher rates than domestic consumers.

There goes our Energy Independence Policy. Look at the Chenire facilities which is 50% owned by China..

1. Every BTU of American energy exported

needs to be replaced by the corporate profiteers with and equal amount of clean energy.
Energy independence means we tax the exporting of our natural resources to the max.

2. It's past time for me and mine to leave Texas.

Hubby is looking east and west. We are so ready to go. The summer heat is stifling here. And the gas companies want to use up our potable water on fracking. Screw them.
