U.S. Energy Sources

The Texas Grid-2015

The U.S. Game Changer!!

Several layers of steel tubes encasedin cement protect groundwater supplies

Protective casing to shale

Depth = 2 MilesMultistage Hydraulic Fracturing

- 100+ years of secure natural gas resource Abundance-Energy Security

GameChanger!!

Texas Shale Plays!!

How we Use Nat Gas In Texas

Back-Up Fuel-Renewables

Base Fuel-Electricity

CNGTransportation Fuel

LNG

Ultra Clean Hydrogen Source

Clean Air-Clean Fuel For Texas!!

NGVs = Should we go there!!

>1,000

1.8 b gal/yr

1,000!

NGVs: The Real “Green Vehicles”

• Natural Gas vehicles…

…compared to gasoline or diesel

Reduce CO2 emissions

Reduce CO emissions

Reduce NOx emissions

Reduce Particulate Matter emissions

Reduce VOC emissions

20-30%

70-90%

75-95%

90%

89%

Lots and Lots of Natural Gas!!

Let’s Be a Natural Gas Seller!!LouisianaCheniere Energy It’s a Global Play

And a Global Market!!

Nat Gas to Mexico2012 = 1.7 BCF/dayProjected 2017 = 4 billion cf/day!“Has helped keep prices $3”

Could deliver 10 BCF/day by 2020!!“Infrastructure”

Seller!!

Buyer!!

New Technologies

The Wolfberry!

Nat Gas Prices

Shale OilToday$3 ??

Lots and Lots of Oil-Sweet Crude!!

USGA estimates 20 Billion Barrels

Companies estimate 60 Billion Barrels!!

Almost $6B!!!

800,000 acres

$700 M

$3 Billion

Just to Name a few!!!

Oil Prices—What Happened?

U.S. Oil Production Went Up -------- U.S. Imports Went DOWN!!

Importing Energy??

Importing Oil

Rare Earth Elements“Green Technologies”

Actually Importing 10 million bbls/day!Net = approx 5 million bbls/day

China…97%

Today Change?? Tomorrow??

Batteries, Magnets, Control Rods, Lasers

Our Major Alternative Energy Sources

Green Technologies & Rare Earths

March 15, 2012-The Washington Post

THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC of China controls 97 percent of the world’s supply ofrare-earth metals. Lucky for China — but not so lucky for the rest of the world!

Rare Earth = Problems!!

Air, Water and Land Environmental Disaster!!1 Ton of Mining of Rare Earths Produces:- 1 Ton Radioactive Waste Liquids- 10,000 M3 Waste Gas (S, HF etc)- 2,000 Tons of Mine TailingsSource: EWI.ORG, 2016

10 Pounds of Rare Earths in each car.

1 M E-Cars = 10 M lbs of RA Waste!!

1000 lbs of REMs per Wind Turbine!!40 Wind Turbines = 20 Tons of REMs From China!!

2014 The U.S. had 52,000 “Clean Energy” Wind TurbinesSource: American Wind AssociationThat’s 26,000 Tons of RE and 26,000 Tons of Radioactive Waste!!

Energy Use of Rare Earths

Rare Earth’s From China

“Freaking” Rare Earths!!

Foreign Oil

The 4 F’s of Our Energy-Pick Your Poison!

3 Laws of Energy (Thermodynamics)—The Good, The Bad & The UglyThere is No Free Energy—Always a PriceWith Any Energy Use -There is Always Waste/PollutionOh...And You Must Use Energy!

Our Real Energy Dilemma

Global Sellers-Buyers

What will the U.S. be by 2030?

Import or Export?

ForeignOil & Rare Earths??

DomesticOil & Nat Gas?

Our Energy Dial

Oil and refined Products

• Produce All Of Our Energy Needs By 2030• Export More Nat Gas, Oil & Refined Products• Tax Imported Oil--$$• Sell Energy to Our Friends--$$• Use $$ to: Invest in Energy Infrastructure• AND Develop Cleaner Technologies & Solutions• Secure A Sustainable, Cleaner Energy Future

An Energy Strategy-“It isn’t Rocket Science”

The Key is Energy Education Texas Natural Gas Foundation—TXNG.ORG

Working with UT Stem Center for Teacher Education

Promote “Fair and Balanced” Energy Education in Texas

Developing 3 Modules for Free Use in Texas Grades 8-12 (up to 8 planned)

The Truth about “All Texas Energy Sources

Plans to go National!!
