Study: Cap-and-Trade to Force Move Away from Domestic Gas

摘要

President Obama's proposed cap-and-trade plan for con-trolling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is expected to push up demand for natural gas over the next decade, especially by power generators, but a large part of the demand isn't likely to be met by domestic gas due to the emission allowance costs that will be imposed, according to a study released last Tues-day. Rather it said foreign imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are expected to fill the void.
