Aubrey McClendon Quotes

Cheap natural gas is a big stimulus to petrochemical production and a meaningful one for all U.S. manufacturing.

Natural gas is a dirty fossil fuel like the rest of them.

Natural gas is hemispheric. I like to call it hemispheric in nature because it is a product that we can find in our neighborhoods.

It's hard to store natural gas. And it does require big storage tanks. So it doesn't work very well on passenger cars.

Not only are utilities switching from coal and oil to gas, but also trucking, schoolbuses, garbage trucks, and even taxi fleets.

Natural gas is an important part of delivering energy, whether you're producing power or other solutions for customers.

LNG is a fossil fuel. LNG is imported.

It's important to understand that oil and renewables do different things. Wind and solar are for power generation, so they don't replace oil. About 70% of all oil produced is used for transportation fuel. Renewables are good projects, but they don't get us off of foreign oil.

I don't care whether you use natural gas, ethanol, the battery. You can use anything, just so it's American.

The industrial stomach cannot live without coal; industry is a carbonivorous animal and must have its proper food.

Natural gas emits only half the carbon dioxide of coal when burned, but if methane leaks when oil companies extract it from the ground in a sloppy manner - methane is far more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide - it can wipe out all the advantages of natural gas over coal.

Practically every environmental problem we have can be traced to our addiction to fossil fuels, primarily oil.

[Coal is] a 19th-century fuel very badly suited for the 21st century. There's no way you can wash or scrub coal to make that essential fact go away.

The key thing is to get off our reliance on fossil fuel.

The last thing we need to do when natural gas has been such a blessing is raise the severance tax.

Coal is cheap, but up to what extent are we going to allow coal plants to operate?

A car produces about one pound of CO2 per mile. There is no problem with collecting the CO2 in the tailpipe, but one might easily end up with a trailer hitched to the car for carrying all this CO2 back to the filling station. The gas burned from a 15-gallon tank would fill up five 60-inch-tall gas bottles.

By 2020, we'll be able to live without oil.

Many coal-fired power plants are being decommissioned or switched over to natural gas, but that takes a long time.

Relative to oil, however, natural gas is very cheap and very attractive. And I think that natural gas in emerging markets is very attractive. There is very little natural gas infrastructure in places such as China, where there is tremendous demand for natural gas.
