Get It Right on Gas

WE are in the midst of a natural gas revolution in America that is a
potential game changer for the economy, environment and our national
security — if we do it right.
Tom Friedman’s column, in today’s New York Times,
notes all the benefits of the natural gas produced by hydraulic
fracturing and the need for federal regulations. And makes an important
point in the quote below. It’s worth a read.
“But
there is a hidden, long-term, cost: A sustained gas glut could
undermine new investments in wind, solar, nuclear and energy efficiency
systems — which have zero emissions — and thus keep us addicted to
fossil fuels for decades.”
