The Energy Plan noticeably omits natural gas.  Natural gas is an important component of Virginia's energy usage, our economy, and it will be for the foreseeable future.  Whether the natural gas is produced in our state, which it is, transported in our state, used to heat our homes and military bases, or used in our factories and businesses, it is cheap, affordable, clean burning, safe, and abundant in the United States.  Virgnia's energy policy should include natural gas as the fuel of today and many years to come while we always look toward the fuels of the future.
