Thank you Tom for both articles. The first only substantiates the trend to move from gas imports out of Canada to exporting out of Canada which is what Access Northeast and Spectra's other projects are all about. The second article is especially good as it points out that the rush to export will certainly drive up our gas prices domestically as has been the case in Australia. It also points out how precarious exporting gas on the world market will be for these companies as there is a lot of competition out there. WHAT IS CERTAIN IS OUR PRICES WILL RISE DOMESTICALLY as it has in Australia. It has been good for the exporters and bad for domestic gas users. Spectra's whole line about the price of gas going down is complete hog wash. When I asked them directly at the Spectra/BOS meeting this question they evaded the question as much as possible, then when pressed they said..."if we had 2 polar vortex winters in a row we might notice a savings"... WHAT? Complete and total subterfuge! The Forbes article concludes with the caveat that as a result of these gas companies doing what they are doing renewable energy will increasingly look more and more attractive, as solar/ wind/ hydro will be the more affordable than gas ! Hopefully we will not buy in to all the hype about the pipeline is about lowering our energy costs which is Spectra's desperate attempt to line their pockets before the real truth gets out about their giant gas pipeline lie.
