>"The United States is sitting on over 100 years of gas supply at the current rates of consumption," he said. Because natural gas emits half the greenhouse gases of coal, he added, that "provides the United States with a unique opportunity to address concerns about energy security and climate change."

>Recoverable U.S. gas reserves could now be bigger than the immense gas reserves of Russia, some experts say.

>The nuclear reactor that powers the submarine emits radiation. In order to protect the crew, the reactor compartment is shielded by steel, water tanks and polyethylene. With this protection, the crew members and the outside world are well shielded from the reactor’s harmful radiation. In fact, the crew members are actually exposed to less radiation than the general public. This is because on land there is naturally-occurring radiation, called background radiation, and water acts as a radiation shield. So when a nuclear submarine is submerged in water, the crew is actually being exposed to less radiation than what they would be exposed to on land.

Those shipping lanes must be protected.
