Natural Gas, a game changer: from T. Boone Pickens!
Dear Evoke Agents,
Please have a look at my new Evidence; Natural Gas, a game changer: from T. Boone Pickens!
The US is experiencing a major wave of natural gas discoveries that accelerated with Chesapeake Energy’s development of shale plays in, Haynesville, Marcellus, Barnett and Fayetteville. Discoveries, of Chesapeake and many others in shale plays, are so important, and the market not ready to absorb in a short term basis, that since initial announcements in June 2008, the price of Natural Gas went from more than $13 to around $4 now. Many other projects are showing the same very high drilling rate of success.
As per T. Boone Pickens’s presentation, these new discoveries of natural gas are a game changer for the world. A new report by JP Morgan shows that new drilling technologies have expanded U.S. natural gas resources to an estimated 8 trillion cubic feet – enough to power the entire country for hundreds of years.

Pickens, an established oil and gas investor, says natural gas is an energy source that will completely change the international energy landscape. You can read the full story at:

Again it will take time to build all necessary infrastructures to switch from oil to natural gas, and clean coal, and wind, and solar but some options are available.
Some solutions already exist, even if only for a portion of the problem.
I will be back later with more ideas to help reducing the negative impacts of peak oil!

Natural Gas is a good way to lower costs, but it is fundamentally the same as oil (though a little cleaner). and so, it solves the issue of the oil shortage, but it is still not a renewable resource. it will pollute, and it will eventually run out.
On the other hand, it may be a good short term solution to take the power out of the hands of non democratic countries with oil and into the hands of the democracies.

Hello Omri, Thanks for taking the time, I agree with you that Natural Gas is not the perfect solution, because of polution and depletion, but at least it is a practical solution on a large scale, it may bring local security of energy sources, for some countries, and will give us all some time to develop the renewable process needed, To have 50 years to develop The solution gives more flexibility than to have only 5,

+1 KS. Agent Sylvain, please read my blog on the Doomsday Fuel Debate and please leave a comment on your thoughts regarding your findings on natural gas expecially as it seems that much of the drilling for natural gas depends on fossil fuels.

Reductions in oil dependency will probably be helpful economically and socially, though a switch to renewable/sustainable is a must. Otherwise, a hundred years from now there will be a Natural Gas Shortage leading to the same game all over again.

The meal
It is 7'oclock, I was late home from work due to an assignment that i wanted to get ahead on. By the time I get home I am feeling extremley tired and I cannot be bothered to make a proper meal. I walk to the fridge and open it to see what there is for me to eat. All of the out of date foodstuffs have been automaticaly thrown away by the fridge, they will be recycled tomorrow as animal feed or something. I see i have organic local eggs and some local cheese.
