The U.S. produces national gas, but can’t ship it within the country #shorts

Summary

The discussion highlights the absurdity of the US, the largest natural gas producer, lacking domestic LNG ships due to the Jones Act. This century-old law requires American-made ships for domestic transport, but building them domestically is prohibitively expensive compared to foreign construction. Consequently, regions like New England are forced to import expensive natural gas, even from countries like Russia, despite abundant domestic supply. The takeaway is that protectionist policies, while intended to support domestic industry, can create severe inefficiencies and hinder national energy security.
