Let's see.

1) The general educated public has not grasped how much of it we have and how cheap it is becoming to produce

2) Coal state politicians don't want to see the role of coal diminished. Although in some cases coal states are also NG states.

3) A huge amount of emotional attention gets sidetracked on issues that have nothing to do with energy

4) An inability to think long term in this country

5) The fact that many of the NG related jobs are in uncool red neck places like West Virginia, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Texas.

6) Misplaced environmental concerns about drilling techniques.

7) An unwarranted faith in the ability of renewable energy to meet a significant amount of national energy needs.

8) The status quo mentality. I filled my tank today so who cares?

4 and 8 are about the same so maybe I'll quit now.
