The DOE has every reason to quickly approve these applications, and we’re pleased that they seem to be moving ahead. The shale revolution -- sparked by U.S. innovations in hydraulic fracturing -- has positioned America to play a leading role in the global energy trade, and we must work fast to secure a competitive position in the international market.
