Wow, where they going to get the Natural Gas from? Their own domestic sources or imports? Could have a global impact on many fronts.

Apparently China has significant shale formations that could be larger than those in the US.

As I understand, these deposits may be more difficult to recover energy from vs the US, and these formations are out in the middle of now where--Significant infrastructure would be needed.

Won't be tomorrow, and if present oil and gas prices remain low--There may be even less push to drill those formations for the near term.
