The U.S. shoul d si multaneously develop carbon capture technology for future deployment to meani ngfully reduce CO2 emi ssi ons when that technology becomes commercially avai1able. In turn, we should use domestic natural gas primarily for heati ng and to provide industri al/chemi cal feedstock to boost economi c growth whi1e exporti ng surplus natural gas and oi1 to improve the U.S. balance of trade and drive global energy domi nance." > > > > About Cl oud Peak Energy > > Cloud Peak Energy Inc.
