Live near Boston. Natural gas is the predominant energy source for heat and electricity[0]. The NG pipeline that feeds this geography is too small[1] so LNG is shipped in[2]. Sadly, while the US is one of the larger producers of LNG in the world market[3] we are not able to purchase US LNG be of restrictions from the Jones Act (the ships themselves are not domestic made or flagged).
What I don't know is all the ins and outs of whats preventing domestic ship building or flagging or maybe the northeast energy market just isn't big enough.
