Study: US LNG exports to help US economy

摘要

A recently released study says that exporting U.S. natural gas in the form of LNG will be of net economic benefit to the country, Reuters reported. The report, a highly anticipated study by NERA Eco- nomic Consulting, could provide the Obama administration a basis for possibly allowing more LNG exports. The government-commissioned report found that LNG exports would be positive to the economy under all conditions. "Moreover, for every one of the market scenarios examined, net economic benefits increased as the level of LNG exports increased," the report said. In particular, scenarios with unlimited exports always had higher net economic benefits than corresponding cases with limited exports."
