NO, while natural gas fired electrical generation has increased; it represents less than 15% of the electricity generated in North America. Furthermore, natural gas reserves are incapable of challenging coal’s dominant market position in North America and throughout the world. Additionally, the price of natural gas makes electrical generation costs very high.
