Time to Bail on Shale?

I think your "believe" are believable but the system has some real inertia and friction to over-come before the "believe" become reality. But the "believe's" just seem too strong and obvious and even our Politicians will come around.
I Hope!

Time to Bail on Shale?

It seems short term supply and demand suggest lower gas prices and thus lower prices for gas producer stocks. The view that natural gas will play an increasing part in fulfilling our (US) energy needs just seems too logical not to get traction.

All that said we may be seeing a buying opportunity for natural gas suppliers and infra-structure company's if one has long view.

At least that is my vision and hope.

Betting on Natural Gas, Part II: Investing Ideas

I'm surprised in mentioned gas pipeline Co's there was no mention of EPD and KMP, both of which I thought were bigger than the one mentioned.

Agree on general theme and good article.

How Much Natural Gas Remains in the USA?

While I don't agree with the article it certainly did a great job at getting out comments which is very helpful to me.

Thanks for everyone's response.

Natural Gas: An Energy Resource Whose Time Has Come

While there are a number of hurdles for nat gas to become a fuel for everyday transportation it gets much easier if it is focused on some special uses; i.e. long haul trucks on Interstates (only need few refueling stations) short haul trucks where truck each night return to some local depot (again only need few refueling stations). (i.e. the Pickens Plan)
