So all of this was for 10 years of cheap gas?

That's a horseshit deal for us.

for the record and some perspective regarding that chart, $9 is the US historical average. We didn't even touch that with the spike in prices this past year. People are so used to rock bottom energy prices we're complaining about something that's still under the average.

Meanwhile the rest of the world is paying 4-6x what we are. So in that regard we still have it quite good.

Shale swells are still producing. The Russian gas has basically been taken off the market. Supply disruption = price hikes.

We'd probably be looking at actual shortages right now without that domestic capacity, instead of just uncomfortably high prices.
