An Energy Policy That Makes Sense, Revisited

I agree with most of your analysis. We really need a national energy policy that develops nuclear, wind, and solar.

The one energy resource that we have in abundance that is cleaner than coal is natural gas. Drilling technology has opened up very large shale deposits. Natural Gas could be a bridge fuel that could replace oil and coal in many applications thus reducing our need for more imported oil and starting to clean our environment.

How about developing cars and trucks that run on natural gas? New electric power plants will be built with natural gas as the fuel.

Eventually nuclear, hydrogen from nuclear, and synthetic fuels will dominate, but in the mean time I like the gas producers: APC, CHK, COP, DVN, ECA, EP, SWN, XTO. (I own shares of APC, CHK, COP and SWN)
