StumbledUpon: Playing with Fire - The 10 Tcf/year Supply Gap


From EnergyPulse, Andrew Weissman, Editor-in-Chief & Publisher, EnergyBusinessWatch.com, writes about the coming crisis in US gas supply and comment on why there hasn't been any urgency to deal with the problem. Among the reasons:

  1. Accelerated depletion of existing gas reserves that are not being replaced by new findings;
  2. Too much natural gas has been used for power generation;
  3. Out-dated prediction tools and under-funded government research organizations.
