Congress is holding hearings on the possible environmental effects of this right now, and Obama stuck a bunch of taxation and cap’ntax in the budget bill in order to get around his DOA cap’n’tax energy bill, so we need to be careful. The United states is to RICH natural gas (as opposed to the “light” in the Eastern hemisphere) what Saudi is to oil. And we doubt The Won’s loyalties lie with the US.
We are “rich in natural gas” so long as access doesn’t get politically cut off and the Left(which runs the government at the moment) will try mightily to cut it off.
