In a report, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates there are 304 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the Bossier and Haynesville formations of the U.S. Gulf Coast. If true, this would increase production of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions at a time when the ongoing devastating environmental consequences require humanity cease using not only fossil fuels but fission (remember Fukushima and Chernobyl) as well. This of course would require the energy industry to voluntarily renounce the untold wealth beneath their feet and a simultaneous immediate shift to renewable, free, and universally available resources -such as solar, hydrogen and gravity. In short, our species must choose between survival and greed.
