Natural Gas Resources

When it comes to natural gas, America is truly the land of opportunity. First it's an economic opportunity. An affordable, stable gas supply provides a competitive advantage for American business that can spark a U.S. manufacturing renaissance. Second, it is an environmental opportunity. Gas is 50 percent cleaner than other fossil fuels, and it is a major reason why American CO2 emissions have actually gone down in recent years. Finally, it's an energy security opportunity. For the first time in decades, our Nation will be able to rely on its own U.S. energy resources, especially new oil and gas development from shale instead of being dependent on imports from the Middle East and other parts of the world that haven't always had our best interests at heart.
