SUGAR LAND--December 26, 2012--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Much has been made of the recent surge in natural gas extraction, which has led to record low prices that have been at the heart of a large increase in new-build natural gas projects, as well as the conversion of import terminals into export terminals, and even a few plant coal-to-gas conversion projects. At the same time, it would appear that many have lost sight of how natural gas came be in such a dominant position and what the implications of that history are for other energy sources.
