New Supply Must Come from New Areas
We've got to make sure that we have enough
natural gas to meet our home heating and
industrial needs. And one of the best ways to
secure supply is to expand our ability to
receive liquefied natural gas. President Bush,
February 20, 2006
Arctic Gas
Our limited capacity to import liquefied
natural gas effectively restricts our access to
the worlds abundant supplies of natural gas
Alan Greenspan, Former Federal Reserve Chairman,
May 21, 2003
Building LNG terminals is one thing that we can
do and we should continue to do to create a
more global market for natural gas, Ben

What Is Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)?

• LNG is natural gas that has been super-cooled to
  -260F and changed from gas to liquid
• Liquefaction reduces volume by 600-to-1
• Stored cold in insulated containers at near
  atmospheric pressure
• Safe to store and transport
• LNG is colorless, odorless, non-corrosive, and
  non-toxic
• Becomes lighter than air when vaporized

LNG IMPORTS BENEFIT THE STATES

• Increased supply results in downward pressure on
  price.
• Gas is the near term fuel for electric generation
  as coal plants are canceled across the nation and
  nuclear plants are slow to develop.
• Renewable energy is years away from making a
  substantial impact in the total amount of power.
• Gas is the cleanest fossil fuel.
• Gas is vital for industrial processes.

GETTING REAL ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT

• The McCain Lieberman Climate Act
  (S.280)estimate a reduction in natural gas
  consumption by 2030.
• Also an addition of 145 new Nuclear power plants.
• Wind generation of 38GW. 2X historical build
  rate.
• Biomass generation growing from 2GW. To 112GW.
• Today wind and solar together account for ½ of
  1.
• The Natural gas Council estimates gas consumption
  will in fact increase 20 from 2019 to 2030.
• Global CO2 emissions are growing faster in
  nondeveloped countries than in the developed
  world.

18
WHAT ROLE FOR THE STATES?

• Promote diverse energy portfolios that include
  LNG as a key component.
• Support longer term contracts for LDCs that
  attract LNG supplies.
• Recognize the global supply market and become a
  player.
• Encourage realistic Greenhouse Gas assumptions.
