Fueling the Future (American Gas Foundation)

Unconventional technologies have dramatically altered the outlook for US natural gas over the past five years. Once considered to be in imminent danger of depletion, the US natural gas resource base is now widely agreed to be sufficient to last 100 years at current rates of consumption. Costs have also fallen, and the natural gas price is expected to grow very slowly over the next 20 years, remaining much lower than prices for many other fuels.
