That sounds like old news to me. The dome in the Gulf of Mexico is said to hold enough natural gas to power all of the homes in America for 20 to 25 years. During the one election year one of the deals made for support was to see that companies were allowed to do exploratory drilling there but the deal made by the loser was shut off by the winner. Guess who was who in those deals.

This particular find is not old news. It was just announced this week. This was an area that the big boys had pulled out of and smaller drillers came in and started going deep.
I contend that we can never have enough energy sources as opposed to what the article implies. We still buy NG from over seas and this will allow us to reduce purchases.
