Sir, Your facts are wrong. According to the EIA, the US produced 19.3 trillion cubic feet (tcf) in 2007. 0.5 tcf was exported to Canada. Therefore 2.5% of US produced gas goes to Canada.
More importantly, the US imports 3.8 tcf from Canada (accounting for 16.4% of US gas consumption). That is missing from your analysis.
Finally, those 'hamlets' in Michigan are giant storage fields that receive gas in the summer and send it out in the winter, to areas in Michigan and Illinois.
