Drowning in it

摘要

Robert Hefner, a natural-gas magnate, feels vindicated. As the head of ghk Exploration in Oklahoma, he has been telling people for years that America abounds in gas. But as recently as two years ago the conventional wisdom was that America was running out of the stuff, and investors began considering building new terminals to import the liquefied form from abroad. All that has now changed. "I used to say we were awash in gas," says Mr Hefner. "Now I say we're drowning in it."
