"His timing on this is very good. I think that the country could get behind a major project like this at this point. We, as a country, are looking for a reason to pull together."

Good to see you are not so partisan (like Teddy) and get behind this good idea regardless of what you might think of his politics.

We've also got large amounts of domestic natural gas.

But, not as much as some others.

"The cost would be huge because natural gas either must be liquefied and then transported, or piped."

It is already piped through most of the country. And liquefying it isn't a huge chore.

His timing on this is very good. I think that the country could get behind a major project like this at this point. We, as a country, are looking for a reason to pull together. Shopping after 9/11 didn't really do it.
