“At the end of the day, what matters most to Americans is how much they are paying to heat their homes and fuel their lifestyles.”
Harris Interactive reports:
In a year of intense media scrutiny on hydraulic fracturing, the manner in which most oil and natural gas companies access natural gas, two-thirds of Americans (66%) say they believe the benefits of natural gas outweigh the risks while 17% say the risks outweigh the benefits.
