As a result, energy will be significantly cheaper in the US than in Europe or China for the foreseeable future. Indeed, shale-gas extraction is so economically favorable that even American gas exported to Europe would cost 30% less than what the Russian energy giant Gazprom currently charges.
于是，在可预见的未来，美国的能源价格将远低于欧洲和中国。事实上，页岩气开采在经济上极为有利可图，以至于美国向欧洲出口的天然气成本将比俄罗斯能源巨头Gazprom的当前价格低三成。
