摘要

Corporate executives like to toss around the word "crisis" when they want Congress to do something for them. And so it is with the chemical industry, which is getting hammered by natural gas prices, which have doubled in the last 12 months to $14 per million BTUs. "The U.S. is in a natural gas crisis," Dow Chemical Chief Executive Andrew Liveris testified to a Senate committee Oct. 6. "The hurricanes have dramatically underscored this prob-lem, but they did not cause it." Liveris isn't just talking. The chemical industry, the nation's largest consumer of natural gas, both for energy and as a chem-ical feedstock, is rapidly moving offshore in search of cheaper gas—and taking jobs and capital with it. The potential blow is enormous. The industry sells $500 billion a year of plastics, films and resins that make up thousands of consumer products. It directly employs 885,000 people in the U.S.
