New drilling technologies used to extract natural gas are making the U.S. less dependent on foreign oil, former President George W. Bush said today at SMU. Just back from Haiti, W. delivered the opening remarks at Natural Gas Nation, a day-long confab presented by his George W. Bush Institute and SMU’s Maguire Energy Institute.
I know all this because my old friend and colleague Kerry Curry is tweeting and live-blogging about the conference all day for Bruce Bullock, the Maguire Institute director. You can go here to find Kerry’s tweets, and you can find her live-blog here on the Houston Chronicle web site.
