Gas Facts and Observations
Wyoming and the Central Rockies - ten-year supply of natural gas for the U.S. (more than 171 Tcf). Because of pipeline constraints, it would take about 150 years to bring this gas supply to market. Other gas supply provinces in North America are mature and are declining (Canada, Mid-Continent, Texas, & Louisiana). Wyoming has the opportunity to gain market, ahead of the expansion of LNG terminals or development of Alaska pipelines. The single-most important objective for Wyoming and the country’s foreseeable energy needs is to build more natural gas pipelines into Wyoming and the Central Rockies. Wyoming legislation provides the tools to plan, finance, build, and operate natural gas pipelines.

Natural Gas Pipelines & Volume of Remaining Supply (Tcf)
190 182 33 171 7 97 45 161 22 21 72 The pipeline system is underbuilt in relation to the natural gas resource in the Central Rocky Mountains. This gas supply is underutilized and undervalued as a consequence of lack of pipeline capacity.

What about other technologies for power generation?
Mark, use the following 2 slides to expound on alternative fuels for power generation such as gasification and hydrogen and C sequestration. I also sent you an with some facts about the development of hydrogen. I found a ton of presentation materials regarding these issues, but they are all in the .pdf format and useless to manipulate. In order to do this correctly, we would need to receive the author’s approvals. But I can tell you this, everybody has there own agenda and those supporting gasification etc. suggest a future increase in demand. CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery Hydrogen Fuel Cells Coal Gasification Carbon Sequestration Thinking outside the box.
