For Japan to import liquified natural gas (LNG), it costs them $16 per MMBtus. Here in the US, producers are getting just under $3 per MMBtus, and it would cost them about $12 per MMBtus to produce, liquify and ship LNG to Japan. Thus Japan is forced to pay horrendous amounts for their energy, and US producers would actually make more money shipping our natural gas to Japan than they can get for it here.

It's nice to be an energy exporter...
