As we look ahead, we see increasing opportunities for Duke in natural gas - not just for producing electricity, but in providing gas for our customers. We have been investing in renewables as well throughout the U.S.

There is growing demand for renewable energy.

Natural gas is the future. It is here.

Renewable ethanol represents a clear opportunity to grow a significant portion of our own fuel locally and begin to break the hold imported fuels have on us.

Natural gas is the one fuel that we have that's affordable, it's scaleable, it can replace coal over time, it can replace imported oil, can create American jobs.

We see natural gas as an important part of the electricity generation mix for many decades to come.

We are already witnessing a transformation in the U.S. economy to increased production of lower carbon energy through fuel switching to natural gas and expansion of wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewable non-carbon intensive energy sources.

Do you know what my favorite renewable fuel is? An ecosystem for innovation.

The more we focus on using renewable fuels, the less we are dependent upon foreign oil.

In reality, studies show that investments to spur renewable energy and boost energy efficiency generate far more jobs than oil and coal.
