Heard an interesting piece on NPR this morning referencing the World Gas 2009 conference in Buenos Aires. Of note that I heard but haven't yet verified is that we now import liquified natural gas to satisfy about 1% of our needs. (
NaturalGas.org). With the new fracturing techniques reported early on this blog it appears that the stage is set for all this to change.
Hydrofracturing (forcing water into shale which breaks it apart in lateral fracture lines) seems to be the pot of gold. We really shouldn't underestimate that potential for helping us out of the energy dependence mess as some experts predict that we will simply overflow with this source. Not a bad prospect. Amazing.
