Market Disruptor: Nuclear Restarts Spell Trouble for LNG

Investors should be aware of the very large threat that Japanese nuclear reactors present to upstart LNG projects.

(LONDON OilPrices.com) - There are two major factors that have emerged in the last five years that have sparked a surge in LNG investments. First is the shale gas “revolution” in the United States, which allowed the U.S. to vault to the top spot in the world for natural gas production.

This caused prices to crater to below $2 per million Btu (MMBTu) in 2012, down from their 2008 highs above $10/MMBtu. Natural gas became significantly cheaper in the U.S. than nearly everywhere else in the world.

Ignoring Diplomacy, Bloody American Political Wankers Drool for War in Iran

Have your senators taken a position on war against Iran?

(PORTLAND, OR) - Iran, formerly Persia, has not attacked another country in hundreds of years. Iran's last President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, did not say he wanted to wipe Israel from the map.

Iran, unlike the United States of America, is not a warring nation, although it has a substantial military.
