Why ExxonMobil Took the Nat Gas Plunge Now

Natural gas is an American treasure as well as an American resource.

It has the capacity to create good jobs that cannot be exported. It has the capacity to positively alter the trade imbalance. It has the capacity to clean our air while the country uses more of it and less coal, gasoline and diesel. It has the capacity to decrease our reliance on foreign sources---more often than not unfriendly sources--- for our primary transportation energy. and in the process enhances our national security.

Why aren't we utilizing this American treasure?

Better to support the world crude market controlled by OPEC, I guess. That quarter trillion dollars winding up in that market every year just might find better application here in these United States.
