John -
Homes can easily and efficiently use solar power to heat their space and hot water. Burning coal and/or wood are things of the past.

While I appreciate the scope of coverage on this article regarding the possibility of natural gas helping to end our dependence on foreign oil, there is a great an undisclosed cost that is rarely mentioned in the press regarding this promising resource:
Total environmental devastation: A stunning comment, seemingly improbable, but, in unconventional gas plays, it is all too common. I know. I live with it.
There is a growing list of communities that can now light their water on fire, yet, gas companies routinely deny impacts and force citizens to ensure monumental financial burdens of scientific discovery and litigation.
The dirty truth behind natural gas is unpleasant. It does burn cleaner, but its development destroys individuals, communities, economies, agriculture, wildlife, air quality, drinking water sources - you name it.
Can't quite believe that? I've been documenting the devastation for over a year on my website: journeyoftheforsaken.com
There, you'll see how wells blow-up, how hydrocarbons get into groundwater, how wildlife react by vacating an area or die trying.
Don't be fooled by T. Boone-doggle Picken's promise of abundant, cheap, easy, clean gas - from which he stands to make millions.
If you're looking for the truth you have to look 8,000 feet down

Nice article, but... no mention of the fact that gas is no more renewable than oil! (Or nuclear, for that matter!) Switching will perhaps buy us a few years, but the concept is still wrong! Destroying our environment for energy makes no sense in the long run!

I guess when the price of natural gas is driven up by power generation and the other suggested uses people will have to return to wood or coal for heating their homes. Won't that be fun? Will that be environmentally friendly or what?
