American Gas Association President: US needs better infrastructure, policies to produce natural gas

American Gas Association President Karen Harbert argues that the U.S. needs better infrastructure and economic policies to produce natural gas. 

American Gas Association President Karen Harbert suggested on "Cavuto: Coast to Coast" Friday that the U.S. needs better policies to reduce the oil price surge and produce natural gas amid a growing global energy demand.

But again, policy matters, tone and tenor [matter]… if we are really going to be able to meet our growing energy demand here at home and around the world and do it in a clean way, natural gas is at the center of that.

We're going to add 2 billion people to the planet. They're going to need energy, and so we really are at the center of that… that solution set.
