A recently released IHS study, "Fueling the Future with Natural Gas: Bringing It Home," is intended to serve as a resource for gas LDCs, their customers, regulators, legislators and other policymakers, industry, and the general public to use in adjusting to the new realities of the natural gas market. It describes the unconventional natural gas revolution (also known as the "Shale Gale") and how it has upended long-held notions of natural gas supply and cost. The study discusses the actual and potential contributions of natural gas to certain national goals such as energy efficiency, environmental benefits, economic growth and energy security. The study evaluates the potential benefits of natural gas use in residential and commercial sectors that constitute the core markets for gas LDCs.
