DOE: Climate Change Affects Fracking & NatGas Too

The climate, it's a changin'. Ought to be a song. Yesterday, the Obama Dept. of Energy (DOE) released a new report on American energy sector "vulnerabilities" that come from  mythical man-made global warming (euphemistically renamed "climate change").

It also asserts that as temps rise, less natural gas (and oil) will be used for heating, but more electricity will be used for cooling. Here's the DOE press release announcing the study:
