Department of Energy-Funded Research
Advances Work on Fossil Fuels Nationwide
U.S. Department of Energy-funded research has verified vast available
deposits of natural gas, led to the development of environmentally friendly
drilling in the sensitive Arctic and the successful testing of flexible
pipe that makes Houdini-like bends deep in the Earth to allow for the
lateral extraction of gas supplies.
