Beyond Nicosia, the Eastern Mediterranean gas issue has been the subject of increasingly tense interactions about conflicting maritime claims and access to what, in a politically less charged world, could offer energy independence of some sort to much of the region for years to come.
We expect that storage and extraction of natural gas will continue to be an issue which will eventually drive up natural gas prices, although at a moderate rate.

Before gas drilling became an issue, only a handful of people would attend board meetings, Musante said.
The energy department DECC originally planned to fold the issue of gas into its over-arching Energy Bill published last week.

Natural gas export is a sensitive political issue and more than one industrial company has complained that such exports would raise domestic gas prices and hence harm American business and the economy in general.

"We don't have any substantial records that the oil and gas exploration have created an issue for the polar bear, " said Dale Hall, director of Fish and Wildlife.
This brings us to the issue of natural gas.
FORBES: Slurring Natural Gas With Flaming Faucets And Other Propaganda
While this mixup was easy to isolate and understand, it highlights an ongoing issue in the natural gas industry, that has become more and more important as the nation evaluates the unprecedented strategic potential of this domestic energy resource: Everyone seems to estimate and report the gas resource, and even production, a little bit differently.
So what is it about the American relationship with gas that makes it such an important issue?
While the debate over liquefied natural gas exports is well known, another issue is emerging: whether to allow the export of crude oil.
FORBES: Should The US Allow Crude Oil Exports? Obviously, Clearly, Yes

"In the short run, the American economy will continue to rely largely on oil, and that means we need to increase supply here at home, " Bush said, adding that there is no more pressing issue for many Americans than gas prices.
And the economic boom being powered, in some regions of the country, by cheap natural gas (which I cover in the current issue of Fortune) makes investment in clean-energy technology an even more courageous effort.
The truth about the Texas Disclosure law and disclosure laws and regulations around the country is that they do not exist to address any real operational issue related to the oil and gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing process.
Rather, the public should know that air emissions associated with hydraulic fracturing (where they exist) remain a small part of a very large and complex issue, that the oil and gas production industry has long done its part to reduce air emissions from a variety of sources, and that reasonable minds can differ about whether the new regulations make sense as adopted.

So delivering generators to these gas stations is one way we can address that issue.
In Ithaca, NY, where we live, as elsewhere, horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to gain access to shale natural gas (fracking) is a hot-button issue.
Defusing local opposition to "fracking" to extract gas from rocks deep below the surface is an issue many of the more tactically-adroit MPs are increasingly concerned about.
Spain's Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar said after the summit that the issue of the liberalisation of electricity and gas markets for industrial and other business users had been resolved.
We obviously examine every issue when it comes to higher oil and gas prices.
But the chief executive, his workforce and their customers can at least rest a little more comfortably over the issue of energy security now that the British gas and electricity giant is set to build a massive 885-megawatt gas-fired plant in Langage, Devon.
These include nationalising Cyprus's pension funds, gathering together state assets to support a bond issue, or attracting Russian investment in its offshore gas reserves.
Costa Rica and other countries are expected to request favourable conditions to buy gas from the US. Guatemala is expected to raise the issue of immigration.
Lula eventually resolved the issue by striking a complicated deal with Bolivia over gas prices that essentially made concessions to Mr Morales while allowing Brazil to save face.
