Chesapeake Energy: Natural Gas Supply Responds to Price

Wonderful article.

As a member of T. Boone Pickens' armada, this is the clear, concise statement that sets out what our future energy source should be. While enabling us to cap the wealth drain (to the sad tune of $700 billion dollars annually) and provide the American economy a significant and vital boost.

How can any right thinking American citizen not understand the simple fact that we must end our addiction to crude oil that we don't have, and should not want. When wars like the Iraq catastrophe are factored into the cost of that addiction along with numerous other global entanglements (read Iran, Venzuela, etc) the drain on this nation is vastly more than the $700 billion figure being bantered about.

Natural gas has all the positive attributes we need and frankly, must develop, if we intend to continue as the nation we want to be. Losing that 700 billion plus dollars a year will destroy the American economy. We all realize this, why don't we make up our collective minds to change our future. It can be done and it won't require a "Manhattan Project" to bring it about. The solution is about 2 miles beneath our feet and readily acheivable, NOW.
