On the recordJuly 18, 2001
we are facing an energy shortage. While our demand is continually growing, our production is slowing. Take natural gas as an example. Our demand for natural gas is actually outstripping our demand for oil. By 2020, we will consume 62 percent more natural gas than we do today. We need to act responsibly, and we need to act quickly. We need to open some of our public lands to exploration for natural gas, and we need to build pipelines to deliver it. Passing the legislation proposed by the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Hansen), chairman of the Committee on Resources, last night was a step forward in the right direction.
