[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1023112, member: 2189"] I doubt it. The transition to natural gas has been happening for far more than 4 years where NG commanded around a 10% to 20% share of electricity generation. Only in the last couple of years has the percentage of total generation thanks to NG gone up to now reach 30%. This process began before Obama and I'd no more credit Bush as I would give Obama credit. Both coal and NG enjoy gov't subsidy and the environmental effects whatever they may be are socialized on the backs of the public so the real true costs are hard to transparently measure. That said, we live in a world where no matter the cause, when ever the benefits or harms become public, those who currently hold office get to take the lion's share of the credit (or blame) so Obama will claim it I'm sure so on that note of past practice, Obama and supporters get to gloat! Have fun with it as I'm sure you will. [/QUOTE]
