Abstract

The 2016 launch of the new maritime terminals for the exportation of liquefied natural gas from the United States opened a new chapter in that country’s quest to dominate energy world-wide. This has made for a denser natural gas network and its link-up with maritime routes for exporting gas to Latin America, Northeast Asia, and Europe. This article explains the recent U.S. strategy for becoming an exporter of this fossil fuel and industrial raw material, strategic for inter-capitalist competition. The author analyzes the expansion of the shale gas industry in the United States and its role as the basis for the hoped-for energy dominance, identifying the latter as a fundamental link in the dispute for world economic hegemony.
