U.S. reserves of natural gas are our best source of energy for the foreseeable future. Wind and solar will fill niches, but are not sufficient to power our whole economy and impose environmental penalties unique to each. Accidents are inevitable with all forms of energy production, but nuclear power plant accidents are too permanently poisonous.

We can show operators exactly where their fracs are going which allows them to avoid geologically sensitive areas.
