Natural gas the next big green investment?

Power your home and your car

In Copenhagen, there was much debate between the US, other modern countries and China, India and Africa. Essentially, these emerging countries believe that the US, etc. should do much more immediately to reduce CO2 emissions as the world works towards a common, world-wide standard.

With natural gas inventories growing by the minute, many are starting to believe that natural gas can be the CO2 fix for such aggressive, short term reductions - without any detrimental effects on the US economy.

Moreover, natural gas is now a domestic resource with burgeoning supplies. So, in addition to meeting high CO2 reduction expectations, natural gas also helps tame foreign oil dependence, while providing extra jobs and income in the US.

Sounds like a perfect green investment to me, as long as water resources can be protected from gas drilling.
