I actually posted this as a response to a different thread but am struck by how little this mentioned. This is a very real opportunity for the US.
The US has one of the best opportunities to grow employment and investment in the US that would lead to huge employment opportunities and increased tax receipts for the government but our politicians either can't see it or refuse to do it.
Provide some tax incentives and assure the continued production of cheap energy and manufacturing of all kinds would move operations from other parts of the world to be in the US. Is the anti-business sentiment and renewable energy advocates our biggest obstacles to realizing this potential? Why aren't we doing more to attract foreign companies?
"LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany — The sprawling chemical plant in this city along the Rhine River has been a jewel of Germany’s manufacturing-led economy for more than a century. But the plunging price of natural gas in the United States has European companies setting sail across the Atlantic to stay competitive."
