Shale gas, or unconventional natural gas, is thus the path of least resistance.
Now, with the advent of the shale gas boom unconventional natural gas those commodity prices have been decoupled.
Such unconventional natural gas releases about half the emissions as coal.
You got it, stop unconventional productions of natural gas from shales because unconventional natural gas from shales is the single most prevalent present source of methane emissions.

One thing is certain: the natural gas industry must be forthcoming and honest about the risks that unconventional oil and gas development create, proactive in taking the steps necessary to minimize those risks, and willing to collect and publicly disclose the data necessary to enable communities to evaluate for themselves whether their health and environment are being fully protected.
Despite the sharp fall in natural gas prices in the U.S. caused by rising production from shale and other unconventional rock formations there was a time when early investors in shale gas made fat profits, a process which is being mirrored in Australia.
