we need natural gas energy now

[luckyleftyme2]

how many of us are using oil for heat? how many of us live in a town that has a natural gas line running through it?
if we could convert the energy from those "crying drill baby drill" to dig baby dig those gas lines look at the money we would save! Dear EarthTalk: Is it true that gas furnaces cost less to run and burn cleaner than their oil counterparts? If I make the switch, how long should I expect it to take for me to pay back my initial investment? And are there any greener options I should consider?

It is true that natural gas has been a more affordable heat source than oil for Americans in recent years. The federal Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports that the average American homeowner will pay only about $732 to heat their home with gas this winter season (October 1 through March 31) versus a whopping $2,535 for oil heat. While the price of natural gas has remained relatively stable in the last few years, oil prices have been high and rising thanks in large part to continued unrest in Middle Eastern oil producing countries. Just two years ago the average winter home oil heating bill was $1,752.

who is supporting the "drill baby drill" theme yup even you got it! BIG OIL!
