Shale gas has provided the United States the opportunity to have 100 years of supply that is domestically produced. If we are going to develop natural gas from shale, it has to be done in a safe and responsible manner.
First of all, the idea that natural gas is better than coal is a lie, especially when it comes to fracking for natural gas. It is a lie that was bought into by a lot of Democrats and a lot of environmentalists because I think they wanted to have a win against something; against coal.
So many people are on the front lines of this fossil fuel frenzy. It is infused with a sense of urgency.

Coal is the single greatest threat to civilization and all life on our planet.
Oil is once again robbing the industry of a return to profitability. Cost reductions and efficiency gains have never been more critical.
