Dynamics of United States Manipulation of Fossil Fuel Supply & Prices Since 2009: How Oil & Natural Gas Fracking Became A Powerful US Lever For Global Control
This is really good/interesting/helpful. I'm working on the "methane" section of my overall project and trying to get into this story of how fracking generated all this American natural gas that had no market, and so they had to liquefy natural gas, but there was no market for LNG because it's more expensive than regular gas and Russia could sell to Europe and Asia via pipelines... And so we go to war with Russia... this makes intuitive sense to me as a textbook case of petropolytics. But unlike the other sections of my project where I can draw on excellent journalistic sources, I'm having to do my own digging around gas and LNG. I'm looking on the boards of directors of frack companies like Chesapeake and LNG companies like Cheniere looking for Russia hawks.

There are some very active, and so far successful, grassroots opposition campaigns to LNG export terminals in Oregon. See:
