A myth. Read Brian Fleay's paper "NATURAL GAS 'MAGIC PUDDING' OR DEPLETING RESOURCE"
http://greens.org.au/election/downloads0/greens_1187836096.pdf
Our natural gas should be used
(1) as an energy input to manufacture renewable energy systems e.g. solar panels and mirrors (energy intensive)
(2) for fertilizer production
(3) as CNG for road transport where rail cannot go
(4) for power supply of rail electrification
Well, you've already agreed to supply New Zealand with LNG from 2020 onwards, so there'll be less of it anyway. As for us being at the end of the supply chain - yes, you're dead right. We really do need to look at it. Right now there's a company trying to build a Natural Gas power station near Auckland, but they're having all sorts of problems. Here's hoping it never gets built.
