Oh, thanks fellow 'pede, I guess I really hadn't thought about that. Just assumed that if we have natural gas here, we'd use it here, rather than import it because that just makes sense, in terms of saving the planet & using fewer resources.

I understand lefties oppose the Keystone pipeline due to climate concerns, yet don't seem to have a problem using a lot of petrol to transport fuel from across the Atlantic.

Common sense is more familiar to me than how the world energy market works, hahaha.
