For starters. What are the implications of exporting energy?

I'm complaining, yes the price yet realize the selfishness in this. For the solutions are there to lesson the dependency on fossil fuels. Just the shift to plastics in our everyday life with little being recycled in earnest. The throw away society is not sustainable.
Increasing drilling, pumping, to feed the use of fossil fuels is a short term price fix. One that ends in a rapid calamity when supplies wain. Or controlled by governments with ill intents, even more so then today.
If by exporting energy one was to look at the science, tech and manufacturing. The country that figures out the future power sources will control the century ahead. I feel this country by staying on the fossil road is allowing other countries to take full advantage. Of the advancements made right here in our industries and collages, yet are ignored in favor of the cheap oil.
Look at the over fishing in the oceans are barometer. The catches are decreasing along with diversity of species. Factory processing ships are decimating the catches. Climate changes are also playing into the declines.
Doing something like eliminating plastics or actually recycling would be a good start. Price to is the main reason plastics are not recycled. Cheaper to make new then recycle.
