Natural Gas Industry Outlook Hinges On Economic, Political Factors

摘要

Natural gas - the second-largest source of fuel in the U.S., stands at a strategic crossroad! At the turn of the century, it was enthusiastically ballyhooed as the "bridge fuel" of the century - it would be the major source of cleaner fuel until economic, efficient forms of "green" energy were developed! Still true in concept, but success is in the future. And, the disbelievers, the environmentalists and regulatory people want to curtail its use even before there is an alternative! With the consequences of green energy - high costs, scarcity, environmental, etc. - fossil fuel consumption is a must but maybe a little dirty business.
