Huge Natural Gas Deposits Found In US

What will the effect of up to 2200 trillion cubic feet of new domestic natural gas supplies have on the environuts? I expect them to go out of their minds. After all we're supposed to be developing wind and solar electrical generating capability, not wasting our time and (private) monies finding new domestic sources of a clean burning hydrocarbon fuel.

A massive natural-gas discovery here in northern Louisiana heralds a big shift in the nation's energy landscape. After an era of declining production, the U.S. is now swimming in natural gas.

Huge new fields also have been found in Texas, Arkansas and Pennsylvania. One industry-backed study estimates the U.S. has more than 2,200 trillion cubic feet of gas waiting to be pumped, enough to satisfy nearly 100 years of current U.S. natural-gas demand.

We already have the infrastructure to distribute the new supplies of gas, whether for heating, cooking, car/truck fuel, or electrical generation. And none of it will come from foreign sources.
