Geo Friend-Lee - The American Energy Revolution: Coal versus Shale Gas lyrics

The American War on pollution, Has fueled, A new Revolution, Of Energy, A powerful wrestling match, Between two industries, Coal versus Shale Gas, The battle to become the number one, American power generating fuel for the next century, Coal is in the lead, Currently supplying 50 percent of all United States electricity, But America's new mission, To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Lessen our reliance on foreign oil, And find energy from American soil, Has opened a new path, For the underdog, shale gas, To gain ground fast, It has, Created a North America energy boom, Some predict it will eclipse coal very soon, It has already dropped the value of coal 85 percent over past 4 years, Reducing carbon dioxide emission fears, And gas prices, Closing down coal plants and putting the entire industry in a state of crisis, But this will be, A two team sea saw battle that will go on for entire century, With the winner eventually, Being the fuel source, that is the cheapest, safest, most easily managed, And does the least amount of damage to our planet.
