21 Summary Efficiency, economy, environment and resource availability all point towards a natural gas future. Natural gas will come increasingly from “unconventional sources”, and history shows that a balance between production incentives and technology investment will result in the creation of new unconventional natural gas resources. The Federal/Private research and technology investment ratio needs to be increased if the U.S. transition to natural gas is to be smooth. QAd1023
