eric, you wrote:
In other words, for U.S. consumers (especially utilities) to have sufficient confidence to

in new gas applications (like turbine and fuel cell-based power plants) that can expand
the use of natural gas in the United
States, R&D investments must be made today to assure adequate gas supplies in the
2010-2050 timeframe.
Privately-sponsored R&D is not focusing on this long-range time horizon. >>

What does R&D refer to?

Eric--

I'm genuinely confused. You're one of the very few MTEI enthusiasts on this thread who's contributed any information of substance, and I respect your opinions, and your knowledge and experience as a geologist.

But earlier today, in response to a post by jhild about natural gas reserves, you said: "Coal bed methane is not the same as natural gas" (#reply-4964554). Now you cite "information on the future of natural gas".

Sure: methane is "natural", and so a form of natural gas. But it was you who appeared to me to be making a distinction earlier. Please explicate?
