To me that's a good sign.]]> President Obama has signaled his support for increasing the U.S.'s exports of natural gas, saying that the country will probably be a net seller of LNG by 2020. The Department of Energy is assessing applications for 20 projects to export gas to nations with which the U.S. doesn't have a free trade agreement. Companies that could benefit include Dominion Resources (D), Cheniere Energy (LNG), Oiltanking Partners (OILT), Williams Cos. (WMB), Boardwalk Pipeline Partners (BWP) and Sempra Energy (SRE). Dow Chemical (DOW) and Alcoa (AA) are among those to oppose increased LNG exports, as it could raise their costs. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/999401?source=feed#comment-18485091 18485091

Greider sets out to counter this perception and explain why America should learn from the Lone Star State. The economy is thriving, helped by weak government, strict lending laws, Nafta, mass immigration and generous business incentives, not to mention lots of oil. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/929491?source=feed#comment-17318701 17318701 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 09:53:27 -0400 With their healthcare costs ballooning, many companies have started to penalize fat employees with regards to healthcare coverage, raising all sorts of legal, privacy and discrimination questions.

A better idea would be for companies to require individuals under an employer sponsored health insurance plan to have 1-2 month "sabbatical" from their normal costs and co-pays and have to pay all costs as if the company plan didn't exist.

At that point maybe people will realize how their personal life decisions relates to overall healthcare costs.]]> Sun, 07 Apr 2013 09:16:12 -0400

"We are clearly in the midst of a recovery," he says. "Prices are moving up not because costs are moving up so much, but because demand is getting so strong." Just look at Nevada, one of the nation's hardest hit by the housing collapse. Despite a 334% surge in new foreclosures, builders are ramping up production. Housing starts in Las Vegas are up nearly 100% from a year ago. Miller says he wouldn't be surprised to housing starts get to 1.7M, even 2M nationwide at some point when the recovery really kicks in. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/892491?source=feed#comment-16369571 16369571

Democratic Representative Chris Van Hollen says it's a "total uncompromising" blueprint and dead on arrival. Hollen adds a warning to the markets as well, noting that despite the healthy performance of stocks recently, the impact from another stalemate will likely reverse those gains very quickly. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/884501?source=feed#comment-16209541 16209541
"Restore competition to the energy sector with the goal of energy independence".

Does this mean eliminate ALL subsidies for ALL energy companies including oil and gas? I doubt it!
