PHILADELPHIA -- Pointing to natural gas as a key component of a national energy strategy that protects national security and blasting the "hysteria" he sees as accompanying environmental concerns, former Gov. Tom Ridge opened the Marcellus Shale Coalition's conference here on a fiery note.
Mr. Ridge, who spent the past year as a paid adviser to the industry trade group, used his half-hour opening remarks to repeatedly urge greater development of American energy resources.
