I won't spend much time on this, but there was also a nod towards natural gas in the EPA Fact Sheet on the new rules to apply to hydraulic fracturing. Here is what the EPA says on the first page:
In a green completion, special equipment separates gas and liquid hydrocarbons from the flowback that comes from the well as it is being prepared for production. The gas and hydrocarbons can then be treated and used or sold , avoiding the waste of natural resources that cannot be renewed.

This isn't really a big deal yet, but taken together with the bill sitting in Congress that would promote the adoption of natural gas in trucking , it is starting to look like America will indeed use the massive deposits of natural gas we now have access to via fracking. Timing is the big unknown. So, I am not ready to invest directly towards natural gas as a clear transition that will have to take place before natural gas recovers, however, it is something to keep on the radar.
