I just got done reading an article in National Geographic about the natural gas reserves in the Appalachian Mountains. I can't believe that we have the potential to be self reliant in our use of natural resources and we haven't tried to develop it. I know that there is some concern with the impact that it's gonna have on nature. And yes that needs to be studied. But to not give this serious thought is crazy. We need to be looking at this from all sides and really truly seeing if this is a viable option for our energy use. It's cleaner than coal, and more abundant than oil. we have the technology to make cars run off this. We already produce electricity with it. So why aren't we developing this more???
