# America's Gas Exports May Double Prices by 2040 - Bloomberg

> A Bloomberg analysis projects that American gas prices could roughly double by 2040 as US LNG exports grow. It also says consumers should be partly shielded because production is rising and trade balances are improving. The forecast gives a long-range view rather than a near-term event.
