Statement From ANGA Chairman David Trice Regarding IEA's Latest World Energy Outlook
WASHINGTON (Map) - America's Natural Gas Alliance (ANGA) Chairman David Trice issued the following statement regarding the release of the International Energy Agency's (IEA) World Energy Outlook touting the game-changing role natural gas will play in North America and potentially the world as we work to meet carbon reduction goals:
"America's Natural Gas Alliance wholeheartedly agrees with the World Energy Outlook's assessment that natural gas is abundant in North America and new supplies have significantly transformed the gas-market outlook. It also echoes our sentiment that America must change its energy course today. This is not only an urgent issue domestically, but internationally, and America can significantly reduce her carbon emissions now by increasing the use of clean, abundant, American natural gas.
"Natural gas is 50 percent cleaner than coal, supports nearly three million U.S. jobs right now, and will create many more jobs in the future as more unconventional gas resources are developed. As Congress debates energy and climate legislation, any bill aiming to curb carbon emissions must encourage the use of clean, homegrown natural gas."
