The reason there are no alternatives is because gas is subsidized to be cheap and prevent any competition.
So the free market gets stifled and our kids will have to learn new coastlines in geography class. Greedy collusion has killed any chance at a free market.

Pretending we have an endless supply of fossil fuels is like sticking your head in the tar sands and singing "la la la la, I can't hear you!"

Ironic but the alternative to gas is gas. There is enough natural gas to replace or update every single engine and all the fuel would come from USA

And as an extra bonus we get more earthquakes in places than normally get none.

:eek:

You think that "bothers" the gas companies?? Take a long and hard look at the coal mining industry's 1880's policy on strip mining. ANYTHING to get at the product -- damn the consequences!

Earthquakes happened in UK when they started, minor but any at all is worrying obviously.

They suspended work to investigate and recently have given the green light providing certain distances are kept to the operations

Restrict shale gas fracking to 600m from water supplies, says study | Environment | guardian.co.uk

People will object to just about any type of energy. Wind or even wave power is protested so the path of least resistance is buy the oil from the middle east. It burns far more dirty then gas though
