Al Gore is on Board with Natural Gas

Did you know that Al Gore annouced this week that he endorsed using natural gas instead of diesel as the fuel to power 18-wheelers. That's big news.

Al Gore, the former Vice President of the USA has single-handedly committed himself to fighting global warming. In 2007, his considerable efforts were recognized when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Al Gore knows natural gas is cleaner than diesel and it's American.

Recent technological advances have made it possible to tap into significant shale gas reserves in the Lower 48 states. According to the Potential Gas Committee at the Colorado School of Mines, America's natural gas resources have jumped 39 percent over the last two years. Our natural gas reserves are actually increasing, not declining. At current production rates, the current recoverable resource estimate provides enough natural gas to supply the U.S. for the next 90 years.

Most Americans don't realize that America has more natural gas than Saudi Arabia has oil. America needs to put natural gas to work. Amerians need to embrace natural gas and use it.
