“Qatar remains hostage to the Strait of Hormuz, because that's the only way they can get their LNG out of the Middle East. The only alternative would be to build a $12 billion, $15 billion liquefaction facility on the coast of the Red Sea or the Mediterranean, and a pipeline to send raw natural gas into it. … Oil, as Stu said, always finds a way. Natural gas has to have the infrastructure to find a way.” — David Blackmon, Energy News Beat

“We'll import our fuel. We import 30% of our electrons. You can't import an electron from around the country and expect it to be zero emissions because it's not, or cheaper, because it's not… So you're just exporting your environmental damages to other states or countries and you're importing a more expensive product. So what are you really accomplishing?” — Mike Umbro, Energy News Beat

“Most of this grid is run by physical laws. You can't change them. … You can break them and then they'll break the grid. But what I mean is, you cannot change them just by writing a piece of paper. On the other hand, the policy grid is a set of pieces of paper.” — Meredith Angwin, Energy News Beat
