For the last 40 years, Environmentalists have opposed, obstructed, and delayed permits to build LNG pipelines to the Northeast.
The Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania (it extends from Ontario to Kentucky) contains enough gas supply to run the US for decades. It is presently capable of producing enough gas to meet the needs of the Northeast.
The problem is a lack of pipeline capacity, not the Jones Act. We need to allow construction of more pipelines.
A Jones Act waiver for a few weeks would be appropriate to solve this short term spike in gas needs.
