The Natural Gas Revolution

The Natural Gas Revolution refers to the significant increase in the production and use of natural gas, particularly in the United States, since the late 20th century. Advances in drilling technology, like hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, have unlocked vast reserves of gas that were previously difficult to access. This shift has transformed energy markets, reducing reliance on oil and coal, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting cleaner energy. Natural gas is now a key player in the transition to a more sustainable energy system, providing a bridge between fossil fuels and renewable energy sources.
