Natural Gas is not the panacea that it is being hyped as. There is now documented proof that Natural Gas wells are fouling the ground water, causing earthquakes(they may even have been the cause of the one in Virginia that damaged the Nuclear Power Plant there) and it still produces Carbon Dioxide, as well as releases of Natural Gas(Methane) during the drilling and production phases contributes to global warming/climate change. I worked in the oil field and still have ties there who keep me informed of things not for general public release.
