The Trans-Pacific Partnership could sharply increase U.S. exports - TopicsExpress



          

The Trans-Pacific Partnership could sharply increase U.S. exports of natural gas - creating incentives for more fracking. The Department of Energy could lose its authority to regulate exports of natural gas to countries that have signed a free trade agreement with the U.S. that includes national treatment for trade in gas. The TPP could also eliminate the governments prerogative to determine whether the mass export of natural gas to TPP countries - including Japan, the worlds largest natural gas importer - is in the public interest. The resulting surge in natural gas exports would not only raise gas and electricity prices for consumers, but would ramp up the dangerous, chemical-laden practice of fracking.
