I don't see how that will help. The fact that unconventional technology has allowed the discovery of other sources of natural gas has only added to the already huge glut of natural gas that exists.

Companies such as Encana, who are heavily invested in natural gas, will have to adjust in a big way if natural gas prices do not recover.
