“....tightening the rules surrounding the output of mercury and other harmful pollutants.”

.
Bunch of EPA BS — will they take a closer look at the use of the new mercury-filled lightbulb?

Oh, it’s a harmless type of Hg? Thanks for “enlightening” us.

So of course we now see a rash of "fracking causes" reports.

Apparently hydraulic fracking suddenly is the culprit for everything from groundwater polution to earthquakes to halitoses and dandruff/dry itchy scalp.

It never ends with the communist agenda "progressive liberals."

>>> Cheap Natural Gas is Creating its own Demand

I’d like to see how long the word ‘cheap’ can be applied.

Just wait till our representatives and gubmint get involved in ‘free redistribution’ to The NEEDY .......

Using up our natural gas for electricity is a tragedy. If we are to move away from coal we should be moving towards nuclear...preferably thorium.

And a Brazilian textile company recently chose Texas over Mexico to build a new denim factory because of a 30% cost advantage in electricity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This 30% advantage is from coal produced electricity, YA NIMRODS!

For most of my life I was told that natural gas was clean,
cheap, and abundant. Then, shortly before fracking and only
a few years back, suddenly is was neither cheap nor
abundant.

Wait, someone is going to manufacturing something in the US?? I wonder if 0 will take the credit of it?? Of course, it wouldn't be in the northeast!! ;-)

Over time cheap natural gas will lead to cheap electricity, drawing in additional industries and creating manufacturing jobs

Oh no, the LIBS will be so upset.
