Dear Editor:

In his State of the Union Address, President Obama pledged to combat climate change and to move forward with development of our nation's oil and natural gas resources. Fulfilling these commitments will include a key decision whether to allow unrestricted liquified gas (LNG) exports to non-US markets or to establish limits or regulation on the volume of LNG that can be exported. As a small business owner with an understanding of economics, I believe that unfettered export of natural gas offers indisputable benefits to our economy and to American energy security and independence.
