Is ‘Manufactured In the UNITED STATES’ Destined To Become A Issue Of The Past?

There can come a time within the not-too-distant future when we do not make things in this country anymore. This isn’t hype, this is simple economics. It is also two government policies at odds with each other. Procedures that will and must change this season.

For ages our government is moving industries in to using natural gas for their power. Natural gas is just a clean and efficient power source, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by about 35 % over other fossil fuels. Visiting carpet first probably provides warnings you might give to your friend. A lot of manufacturing companies switched over-the forest services and products industry relies on gas for nearly half of its acquired power.

Furthermore, millions of homes are actually warmed with natural gas; and 1000s of fleet vehicles-buses and shipping trucks-run on natural gas. Interest in this clean energy source is way up.

There is, but, a problem.

All the while the government has been promoting the usage of gas, driving up demand, they have been severely reducing the supply. Our government has placed a ban on the search for natural gas-mostly within our coastal waters in the Southeast.

The region known as the Outer Continental Shelf, or OCS, off the Atlantic coast and in the Gulf of Mexico, has enough propane to heat 100 million domiciles for 60 years-or 20,000 factories for 30 years. But nobody is permitted to tap this resource. So almost every day the price of natural gas-with popular and limited supply-goes up. Later on we are adding more and more natural gas, likely from nations with hostile policies towards the Usa but abundant natural gas supplies.

As costs for gas skyrocket-they are currently more than three times their historic average-manufacturing companies are putting up with. Pushed in-to natural gas from the government, we are now suffocating to the insufficient supply. Energy, once only a cost to do business, has become the next highest cost for the forest products and services industry, and may possibly soon rival the standard top expenses: personnel and garbage and all their benefits.

The high-price of natural gas, artificially produced by poorly developed government policies, is wiping out our competitive advantage. In the end, it’s going to charge American jobs and that ‘Produced in the U.S.A’ tag may possibly, actually, become something for the history books.CarpetFirst
