Quote:
"Houston’s exports have been powered by the surge in oil and natural gas production from shale reserves, which has created cheap feedstocks for the region’s refineries and petrochemical plants.
"The data are for goods exports only, and New York’s service sector would probably make it the largest US area for total exports. Exports from the New York region were hit by tropical storm Sandy last year.
"The largest component of Houston’s exports * * * is petroleum and coal products * * * The second-largest category of Houston’s exports is chemicals * * * which benefited from cheap natural gas used as a raw material for many commonly used products.
