The fact that US natural gas production is in decline even as fracking and LNG demand are in play, one would have to admit, is remarkable.

Define “in play”. The current administration campaigned on blocking all new exploratory leases, which they’ve done (and is now in a confusing legal battle). The current administration also blocked the Keystone pipeline.

So no new ventures, and no cheap transportation from our partners to our north. Seems like the North American industry is being starved.

You seem to be deliberately confusing natural gas with petroleum.
