Tauke reports Canadians open to gas price talks
Rep. Tom Tauke and three Midwest lawmakers returned from Canada where officials signaled willingness to renegotiate price guidelines for exported natural gas. The group seeks lower Canadian gas pricing, citing Iowa’s heavy imports.
Gas hearing set for Davenport to discuss pricing
Senator Roger Jepsen of Iowa will hold a hearing on natural gas pricing at 9 a.m. February 7 in the Federal Building in Davenport. Canada will begin discussion of the issue February 1. Tauke noted Canada wants to sell more gas to the United States but warned prices must be renegotiated downward to boost imports. The congressman said there is room for accommodation that could yield fairer prices for Americans and enable more Canadian gas sales.
