"Perhaps never in its history has the U.S. domestic natural gas industry experienced more changes than it is right now, and this is just the beginning," noted Skains. "The largest change affecting the U.S. market is an increasingly home-grown supply portfolio, led by unconventional onshore shale gas. The abundance of American natural gas resources is a fundamental change - a paradigm shift - in conventional wisdom. Natural gas prices have changed as well; gas purchased by utilities in June of this year cost on average 68 percent less than in June of 2008." Mr. Skains also spoke to broader topics including natural gas supply and demand, conservation and energy efficiency, natural gas supply diversity and energy legislation. "Natural gas is a clean, efficient and abundant U.S. and global energy resource. The widescale use of natural gas in residential, commercial, industrial, power generation, and transportation applications is good for the global economy, the global environment and for the global energy consumer," Skains concluded.
