I would like to see a rational discussion on what oil and gas exports mean for consumer prices in the US.  A unit here is about $3, and about $10 in Europe.  Industry insiders regularly talk about the desirability of ‘price stabilization’—not in their PR campaigns to consumers but in industry publications and such.  Turning North American gas into an international fungible commodity is no doubt good for industry’s bottom line (which would probably be good for those businesses in GJ) but what will it mean for US consumers?  Shouldn’t we acknowledge that reality so we can have a rational, rather than just another overly simplistic ‘boosteristic vs. anti-’ debate?
