Restrict the export of natural gas and natural gas liquids from the United States to protect our countries jobs.

Created by D.S. on January 23, 2013

The US is on the verge of potentially bringing back manufacturing jobs from overseas due to fracking and the increased supply of natural gas and natural gas liquids. With the low cost of NGL's, chemical companies are opening plants all over the US to take advantage of the low cost feed stocks. This means that The US will be a large producer of chemicals which will feed other types of manufacturing. The outcome of this could be corporations bringing back manufacturing to the US to take advantage of the low cost material. The problem is that energy companies don't want restrictions on the amount of NGL's they can export from the US. The absence of restrictions will increase the cost of natural gas, make it more costly to heat your home and give away the US advantage for future growth.
