One of the many benefits of Drilling and Fracking for NatGas here in America is a safer world. (Just as Sarah Palin said, though she was hardly the first)

One of many energy policies we should be doing.
Hydroelectric is another.
We’ve tapped most of the available hydroelectric. That will never provide more than 10% of our needs.
The better option is nuclear. If we had a logical energy policy in place 20 years ago, 90% of our electrical generating capacity would be nuclear. The natural gas could be used for home heating, and all that coal in the ground could be converted into liquid petroleum products. Just like the Germans did.
We would be energy independent.
