US natural gas production has been flat for a number of years. We keep hearing that US production is expected to begin declining sometime in the next few years, but it doesn’t seem to happen. While it is not obvious from most published data, the reason production remains level is because unconventional gas production has been rising.

The move to alternative sources of heat will put pressure on the remaining forests in North America . This transition will also threaten the climate and air quality as coal-burning expands, and it could push grain prices higher as homeowners compete for increasingly scarce grain to feed grain-burning furnaces. Electricity may also become a source of heat, potentially threatening the electrical grid.
