14、 America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

And because clean natural gas

53、 is found in great plenty, there is little doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century, much like oil did in the last. But, like oil, gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world, usually far from where theyre needed most. And thats only part of

54、the challenge. The world has had well over 100 years to search for oil and to build the necessary facilities(設(shè)施) to bring it to market; the natural gas facilities, particularly when it comes to liquefied(液化的) natural gas (LNG), are not nearly as developed.So what needs to be done? On the supply side

55、, producing nations need policies that allow better development of their natural gas in an open, stable business environment, not one in which the rules of the game change without warning. The governments of consuming nations, on the other hand, must make policies for sustainable (可持續(xù)的) development

56、to ensure theyll have enough supplies in the future. That means building the related facilities, including LNG stations. This, in turn, will require coastal areas to allow these necessary, but not necessarily pretty, facilities to be built in their backyards. And energy companies have a responsibili

57、ty to be good neighbors in those areas by operating these facilities responsibly and safely. They must also continue to put in the billions of dollars needed to build the complex transport and storage facilities required to bring more gas to market.Expanding and diversifying(使多樣化) energy sources by using more natural gas could lead to lower fuel prices and to greater energy security. Weve taken some of the steps to get started, but we need your help to get the rest of the way
