The primary energy needs of
people are coal, natural gas and oil. Major suppliers of natural gas and oil are
the Gulf nations. However, in the last ten years, the rights of several countries
and people have been affected as the rates have risen in leaps and bounds by
the oil producing nations. Moreover, the next decade sees great increase in the
consumption rates. Hence, nations such as the United States, UK are trying to
find alternatives to avert the crises.
Shale gas energy has been found
as a great substitute to natural oils. It is believed that this resource can protect
the human rights and make energy available to all at sensible rates. Massive
reserves of shale to meet all future demands have been found in shale
Cuenca de Burgos (Mexico), America, China and several other nations. Moreover,
since the energy of the rock has extremely low emission of carbon in comparison
to other energy sources, it can solve the problems related to environment
pollution created by industrialization in developing and developed countries.
If things go as planned, gas
shale has the capacity to replace imported natural gas and oil from limited
stocks within Russia and the Arab countries. Innovative techniques are being
developed by scientists that can make shale gas production cheaper than gas and
oil imports at present rates. New technologies have been created, where
chemicals and sand are injected within the rocks to get gas to the surface. The
reserves of energy of gas shale can stimulate extreme economic growth, help in
reducing carbon emissions and decrease dependence on imports from the Gulf
world. As per the figures available on the Internet, the amount of reserves of gas
shale in tamaulipas and other parts of Mexico can help meet the gas
needs of not only the United States but also countries across the world.
