I’m ok with a narrow exemption, maybe temporary, for those tankers only. A total suspension of the Jones Act would decimate the American maritime industry. A NY tugboat operator explained that to us here one day.
But yeah, an exemption for LNG tankers. It doesn’t seem like it will harm anyone. I agree with you.
As for LNG, I haven’t looked up how much we use. It has to be a minuscule percentage compared to pipeline gas. So, I am dubious of any claims that it inflates my bill by even a penny per Klwh, not that I’ve read that claim anywhere. I just don’t want to assume, oh, so that will double my bill - uh, no.

Its more to protect against spiking demand/pricing. I found this: EIA on LNGs effect on New England gas prices.
