Great article and right on with respect to the multi use fuel, Natural Gas.

All that was said about its being BTU wise as good as oil and price wise somewhat cheaper than oil is correct.

This can not be left alone. The environmental wackos will be all over this like stink. The bugaboo will be the Ubiquitous Carbon Footprint. It will be interesting to see how the administration will dance around this one.

We should have had the bulk of our commercial transportation running on natural gas for years. All it took was one very tragic urban explosion and similar to the hatchet job done on Nuclear Energy, Natural Gas became a pariah.

We really need to clean up education in this country so that the public is better informed and can see through the ridiculous claims of the truly uninformed, but hysterical, press (aka MSM, Old Media, Passe Media Systems).

going into GA. Any news that would help?

I like the technicals on the weekly charts for UNG, and that UNG was up on a distribution day for most indexes yesterday.

He seems to have some influence with the administration. And GE. But, I repeat myself….

Nice little dichotomy the Dems have set up for themselves. Somehow, there’s too much methane being generated for the health of the planet, yet not enough for it to qualify as a renewable resource.

9 are scheduled to complete in 2011. We’ll see the level of interference from above.

Natural Gas is something they should support as everytime the President opens his mouth the room is filled with methane

LOLOL! That woman is really into the head of the Won, big time.

But if that happens, I will salute the Won. At least he has the nerve to admit that the Dems’ energy policies are nothing but a WACK JOB. The Won must outrightly give up his utopian Renewable Energy dream. It’s just a hallucination, after all.

Sadly, it will further embolden the early suspicion of many people. The Won has no official policy stand or belief. He just copies and does what others are dictating him.

The Won is really nothing but a low-class beta-male: A WEAKLING.

It’s just a shame that Bush2 didn’t pursue that energy policy path the way he pursued the Iraq war. Missed opportunities? [This is in relation to GC's different idea that giving tips to the Won is bad for conservatism].

Nevertheless, a vigorous natural gas industry will be a good thing for America, regardless of the affiliation of the President pursuing it. The irrelevant woman has proven the same to be quite true.

I believe it was over 20 years ago that an insurance company with which I had a with-profits life policy said that one of their investments was in some natural gas fields in Oklahoma. However, that company went into some form of wind-up process in which the investors in the with-profits policy would be able to continue if so desired. Because the prospects for returns did not look good overall, I simply abandoned the policy. It might have been worth continuing, however, if I had been close to the time of maturity. The reason for mentioning it now is to make the point that people have been talking about the potential for American natural gas for a long time, some may have been making a little money in this area, but for a foreign investor it would be, I believe, an investment involving calculated risk, not a “sure-fire success”.

Having said that, any developments on this front will be of considerable interest to me in the future.

For example, this statement implies nukes are on the table and we know darn good and well there will never be any ‘nookular’ permits issued under Obama’s watch.

All energy uses and supply sources must be reexamined in order to enable the transition toward a lower carbon, more sustainable energy mix.
