Sesport,

Thanks for answering. I am interested in ANYTHING that makes fracking safer and utilizes natural gas effectively.

Frankly, I see very little hope for the US without shale gas - and a lot of it.  It's the only low cost, cleaner fuel we can use right now.   I am hopeful about natural gas partly because there are smart, forward thinking people working on shale.

I've thought about a list of investments in shale gas - small companies that supply the drillers or otherwise help.  But, I am  too old to really complete such a proposal - but I do want to craft the outlines of it in the next year.  There could be tremendous investment opportunities in small cap companies doing research and development in shale. It's way too risky for a retiree like me, but my kids/grandkids???

so, send it along!

Propane Fracing has been used and I believe a company has figured out a way to do it economically.  Also, Range Resources uses air fracing in West Virginia with some success.
