U.S. Says Golden Age of Natural Gas is Here to Stay
Forbes: A golden age of natural gas has begun in the United States and it will last for decades, according to an early release of the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s 2014 Annual Energy Outlook.
The report forecasts a fracking-induced surge sustained in energy production through 2040, which will keep carbon emissions below 2005 levels for decades.
Natural gas production will rise a staggering 56% from 2012 to 2040, when production is forecast to reach 37.6 trillion cubic feet (Tcf).
Similarly, crude oil production is projected to rise annually for almost a decade. In 2020, oil production will plateau slightly below production levels in 1970 and will gradually decline over the decade that follows.
