LNG is in the spotlight for the natural gas industry on a both national and global basis. For the forseeable future, LNG appears to be competitively priced versus U.S. domestic supplies, but LNG brings its own unique international baggage that may change trading, pricing and capacity dynamics in the U S. markets.
