On March 10, 2011 I came across this article. In New Brunswick they have found a new way of obtaining natural gas. They may be getting ready to completely use this new technique as their use of energy. They have put a lot of thought into how to this oil. The EDF set standards so that the drilling would be safe. This natural gas is called shale and comes from soft rock. There is a lot of work to really be done before they can officially drill for this gas. Standards must be met so that water, air, and future pipelines stay clean
I'm skeptical about using this because though they say it is better for the environment, isn't our issue right now that we may run out of our natural resources. How is this any different from the mining oil we do today? Maybe it will open up more jobs and that may benefit us but how long until we are saying the exact same thing that we say about our natural resources we already use?
