“One of the biggest factors in bringing more jobs back is our commitment to American energy," President Obama said during his fifth State of the Union speech on Tuesday. "Businesses plan to invest almost $100 billion in new factories that use natural gas.”
Since 2009, U.S. production of shale gas has tripled, and now America is the world’s largest natural gas producer.
Greater use of natural gas has reduced air pollution and brought carbon emissions to their lowest point since the 1990s.
Unconventional natural gas production will support 1.4 million jobs in 2015.
Natural gas is forecast to be the fuel of choice for 65 percent of new power plant additions through 2040 while driving a U.S. manufacturing resurgence.
