You're right, and the green technology people will need to fight natural gas tooth and nail to slow it down. In a few years, voters and politicians will look at all the natural gas, versus all the alternative energy subsidies that are running up the debt, and make the obvious choice. We will still need to continue alternative energy R&D , including nuclear, because the NG will not last forever. But even heavy R&D costs much less than the heavy subsidies the alternatives have been getting. It would be great if most of the world can find enough shale gas, if only for 20-30 years. It would bring the oil price down and put a real kink in the plans of people like Hugo Chavez and a number of OPEC countries.
