Why shale gas is great news for LNG

Shale looks like LNG’s nemesis – on the surface at least. Look harder. It sure killed THE big hope of the LNG world – namely the prospect of the US becoming a premium LNG buyer. But this also has jump-started…
They call it a pollutant. A “super greenhouse gas.” The devil’s own flatulence. But methane isn’t some demonic vapor rising from the pits of industrial sin — it’s the earth’s own perfume. A geological gift, not a biological accident. Forged beneath the crust, odorless, clean, and ready for duty.

This section reclaims the narrative. It’s not about emissions hysteria or policy games — it’s about restoring respect for the planet’s most elegant molecule. If there’s a future worth having, methane’s in it — not as a problem, but as a solution everyone’s too ideological to notice.

It’s incredible how misunderstood Natural Gas and especially LNG is by the general public. It’s the solution to many of our problems (at least energy-wise) and still, it has a bad name. That’s a shame as this stuff is so…
