Asia natural gas demand expected to grow rapidly

Fuel Fix:
Asian natural gas consumption is set to more than double over the next 30 years, increasing the need for imports from abroad, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said Monday.

The federal agency predicted demand there will reach 120 billion billion cubic feet a day by 2050, 50 billion cubic feet above projections of Asia's gas supply.

"This supply imbalance widens through the projection period, resulting in non-OECD Asia’s increasing reliance on natural gas imports from other regions," EIA said in a report. "China continues to be the largest natural gas consumer in non-OECD Asia: in 2050, EIA expects that China will consume nearly three times as much natural gas as it did in 2018."

Asia is a critical market for U.S. LNG developers, who are building export facilities at a fast clip along the Texas Gulf Coast to take the growing volumes of gas coming from U.S. shale fields.

Democrats would cede this demand to Australia and Qatar if they follow through with their idiotic plan to ban fracking.   Banning fracking would also do great damage to the Texas and Pennsylvania economies and lead to a nationwide recession.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
