Yes, indeed, and it is documented that the growth of natural gas production is creating jobs, expanding manufacturing at a rate that was inconceivable a few years ago. The reason for all of this is fracking. |

New data from the Environmental Protection Agency indicates that drilling for natural gas releases significantly less methane (the main component of natural gas) into the atmosphere than previously thought. |

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a rapidly growing part of the larger natural gas industry and is especially relevant today because of the increasing global demand for transportation fuels. |

It starts with getting into the transportation sector. When I started the Pickens Plan in 2008, there were about 200,000 vehicles on natural gas in the world; now there’s about 16 million. |

As America continues to debate the best way to develop clean fuels and promote energy independence, natural gas vehicles are gaining increasing attention as a significant way to move the needle -- and it's no surprise why. |

When I talk to people about Pennsylvania's natural gas resources, they tell me two things. First, they believe it's good for America to be more energy independent. Second, they want hydraulic fracturing to be done cleanly, safely and responsibly. |

America is facing an energy-security paradox. Our domestic oil production is on the rise; the cars that roll onto our roads are more efficient than ever, and net oil imports are at their lowest level. Yet none of this has reined in the price of gasoline. |

Already in 2013, Utah has logged more than two-dozen red air days. With extended inversions trapping pollutants in our valley, Utahns have declared it is time to do something. |

Biogas, the methane produced at landfills, dairy farms (sometimes affectionately known as “cow power”), and wastewater treatment plants, can be used to fuel cars, buses and boats while earning valuable regulatory credits. |

New technologies enabling natural gas to be extracted from a number of shale layers under Pennsylvania have the potential to be a game changer for our industry. |

After improving technology and distribution, natural gas has become a vital source of energy for several industries, as well as an efficient way to heat buildings, produce electricity, and fuel vehicles. |

|
With energy policies weighing in heavily towards a carbon-constrained future, natural gas is emerging as a clear frontrunner, offering benefits for the environment, energy security and trade opportunities. |
