I meant natural gas versus gasoline as a liquid transportation fuel. I
misunderstood and thought Andy was unaware that the local Marcellus
sites comprise a natural gas project rather than an oil field, such as
the fields in Venezuela or Saudi Arabia.

What do you consider natural gas to be if not a fuel?

Andy et al.,
The issue is about extraction of natural gas, in contradistinction to fuel.
For anyone who wants to bone up on the controversy, here are just a few
diverse electronic addresses:

I'm curious if there's any data on local gas resources versus those
from far away. Whenever I talk with someone about the gas drilling, I
have to wonder if it is more sustainable to drill for gas locally, or
to get our resources from places like the Middle East. I can only
imagine that their energy extraction sites have significantly less
regard for the environment, and the amount of energy used to ship that
energy to us must be outstanding as well. If those assumptions are
true, wouldn't it then be more sustainable to get our non-renewable
resources locally?
etc.
