Immediate action needed to address US natural gas shortfall: NPRA

They need to try some of Mama's homemade chilli. If I eat that, I'll
be making natural gas all day long

London (Platts)--26Jun2003

Immediate action is needed to address the shortage of natural gas supply in >the US in order to ensure the competitive survival of its petrochemical >industry. "The nation's petrochemical manufacturers and refiners rely on >adequate supplies of natural gas at predictable prices," said Bob Slaughter, >president of the National Petrochemical & Refiners Assoc, in a statement >Thursday. "If those conditions are not met, the health of those industries, >their significant contributions to national, state and local economies, and >the continued existence of hundreds of thousands of jobs are directly >threatened," Slaughter said. "Our experience with high natural gas prices and >short supplies last winter was a reality check for the nation's flawed >policies, and we must act now to correct them," Slaughter said, following the >National Petroleum Council's Natural Gas Summit. "This is why NPRA urges >summit participants to reject halfway measures and confront the unavoidable >reality that additional natural gas supplies are needed now," Slaughter said.
