    As passionate as I am about exports, maybe readers of DNO find the “Full Story” article as confusing as I do.

    I notice with disquiet that there are no comments on this news item. Perhaps our people are ignorant of the the significance of the EPA but this is a golden opportunityfor us to explore and exploit.

      I so agree, such important information, maybe they are not interested because they feel it is not gonna have an impact or affect them.
