You're under the impression that the turbines and facilities to generate and deliver electricity just drop from the sky?... How about the basis of that electricity that the robots run on?

Any thoughts on this inconvenient question?
no
Im referring to the fact if you don't have a job
you won't be needing any gas

the demand for gas has dropped majorly world wide
there is plenty of the cheep stuff to go round for the projected future demands

the demographics do not see the production costs of some types of projects ever being met
the caps will come off of far cheaper fields if/ever

robots don't burn gas for fun

I do have a job.

Curious, exactly how does an unemployed guy like you manage to heat your home or travel to get groceries?

Do the foodstuffs you buy magically appear on the shelves?

Coal and NG power plants, we are short on neither of those products, exporting the power would replace some of the lost revenue.

There is too much supply despite the demand which is great for importers but not countries like Canada which are net exporters.

Once the Eastern jurisdictions and East coast (major) cities get their crap together and nstall the necessary infrastructure, supply/demand will balance.

There is huge demand for NG in Europe and Asia, hence the construction of a raft of NGL facilities (at a couple of billion a piece)... These nations understand that this is the future, shouldn't be too long before NorAm gets it
