RE: U.S. Reduces Marcellus Shale Gas Reserve Estim Love the recent news but doesnt it show the total corruption of the US Energy Department and the rest of the American country. They knew about these over inflated supplys years ago but wanted to keep prices low for their economic recovery. They finally let the cat out of the bag because many of the US owned companies could go bankrupt eliminating more good jobs and further eroding the tax base of the country.
