As fossil fuel
resources shrink, as air pollution worsens, and as concerns about climate instability cast a shadow over the future of coal, oil, and
natural gas, a new
world energy economy is emerging.
Natural gas is poised to enter a golden age, but this future hinges critically on the successful development of the
world's vast unconventional
gas resources.
What is in question is whether the oil and
natural gas industry will be given access and the opportunity to develop those
resources to meet our nation's and the
world's energy needs.
Plentiful oil and
natural -
gas reserves exist around the
world, but the U.S. is far ahead of every other country in bringing those
resources out of the ground and onto the market, writes WSJ.

«Whether China moves onto an innovative, sustainable and low - carbon growth path this decade will more or less determine both China's longer - term economic prospects in a

Methane hydrate — molecules of
natural gas trapped in an ice - like cage of water molecules — represents a potentially vast methane
resource for both the United States and the
world.
Heat within 10,000 meters of the earth's crust contains 50,000 times more energy than all the oil and
natural gas resources in the
world.
Rather than invest where the best tax regime can be found, oil and
natural gas companies invest where the
resource is located, continuing to spend billions of dollars on new and existing domestic projects each year despite U.S. tax rates that are the highest in the developed
world.
Access to the
world's largest remaining conventional, undiscovered oil and
natural gas reserves — 13 percent of recoverable oil and 30 percent of recoverable
natural gas resources — is at stake.
Thus, despite a large remaining
resource base relative to current cumulative production,
world natural gas production is still projected to peak in 2030 (low), 2040 (medium) or 2050 (high).
The United States is not just energy rich, but according to the Congressional Research Service, the United States has the largest combined coal, oil, and
natural gas resources in the
world.
