Exporting $3 Natural Gas; Importing $100 Oil -- The American Way -- By The Way, How Many Bats Does It Take To Stop A Windmill?

Link here. 

BG Group will export liquefied natural gas from the United States under a landmark $8 billion deal with Cheniere Energy that will allow domestic producers to ship bountiful shale gas supplies to the world for the first time.

So, if I understand this correctly, the US is exporting $3 natural gas and importing $100 oil for our own energy needs. Okay.

I cannot take credit for that pithy comment and analysis. That was sent to me by Don via the MDU message board over on Yahoo!

This could have been added: in lieu of $3 natural gas, we're building whooping crane killers which are turned off at night anyway to protect the bats.

The note above is tongue-in-cheek, but the link with regard to the bat will take you to a really neat story. Whether you agree with the writer's perspective or not, it's fun to read, and has a great picture of a little bat.
