There goes  our children's, our grand children's, our great grand children's future of affordable energy all for the want of a bag full of paper!

Joe,

Did crude just fall by 50% in the last 4 months?

There is copious amounts of nat gas in the USA. This is about hoarding and storing. This is about ensuring future generations of yours and mine still leave in a strong and safe USA.

LNG will commence in 2015, and four ports will be exporting as early as 2017. Its not a maybe, its here!

This is a staggeringly bad idea.

No, I meant that the idea of exporting is a staggering bad one.  I got what you were saying and my comment was not directed at you specifically.

If! you could take the paper and make it sustainable or make it grow you already would have. As I have wrote in the past wind falls are at best temporary, most people will blow it in and short order be right back where they were or worse. Don't even think that hole in the ground is going to last. Best example is lottery winners.

So your saying to go ahead and sell off or squander our natural resources with the "HOPE" of renewable energy when to this date there is no such thing as renewable energy? Only renewable hopefuls (solar, windmills, fusion?, corn) that to this date make more pollution than green earth renewable people led buy corrupt politicians and greedy corporations will admit. Everyone of them is heavily subsidized. Everyone to this date is dirtier and uses fossil fuels to make them work. Every bit of energy they produce takes a lot of fossil fuel energy. Do some research on the electric cars and their trail of carbons it takes to make it look green going down the road. I say show me a truly sustainable energy then maybe...

Are LNG and crude oil included in the products that are not allowed to be exported to other countries from the United States?

LNG is explicitly allowed.  NGL's and oil condensates are not specifically stated, however, there are companies both seeking direct approval, or just shipping without approval.  The USA seems to be taking a stance ONLY against the exporting of strictly crude.  All other types of energy are being allowed to be exported.

Perhaps we should be more focused on expediting any and all avenues of domestic use before exporting any non renewable natural resource.

Rural gasification for American heating. No more heating oil!
CNG for trucking,transportation,railroad engines. No more diesel!
NG for electric generation. Save the coal for backup as gas won't last forever!
Build enough Crackers to use all our ethane right here in the USA. Export products made HERE from OUR resources!

We stand at the threshold of Economic might and energy independence. This is a HUGE opportunity for us (the USA). I pray we don't squander it. God knows there are many within and outside our borders working feverishly to negate our new found power through numbers of ways. Hopefully we can prevail!

Let's hope the best interests of our country and our descendants wins Joe!

The best interests of the operators is what is being looked out for in this case.  Export means higher prices at home.  Export means a massive increase in production just to maintain a healthy supply.  Export means using up a resource faster than previously assumed, which brings up the question "how much supply do we really have once we've accelerated our demand artificially?".
