They only used natural gas and its supporters as ponds to destroy the coal industry. Now that this is well on the way to succeeding, they have no use for natural gas.

With the current price of Natural Gas, Dominion can sell it in Europe for 4 to 5 time more that in the US. The other thing is much of the gas today is be flared off because they don't have the space to store it.
