Thanks Plato. One of Frasier's comments towards the end of his talk surprised me:

"We use over 60 billion cubic feet a day of natural gas. We should be using a lot more. If you start stacking boxes of natural gas, your stack would reach to the moon, and then you'd have more boxes left over, so you'd make another stack to the moon; and then another one, and another one, and another one, and another one, and another one. And when you had 50 stacks to the moon, you'd have one day's gas consumption in the United States."

That's billion, with a 'b'. I checked the transcript. That's quite a bit more than I had envisioned, which I guess proves his earlier point that it's difficult for lay folk to deal with such large numbers of consumption. What do natural gas reserves look like these days? Any thoughts on this? Anyone?
