Gas companies spend millions on lobbying

The gas and oil industry has spent $120,669,855 lobbying so far in 2009. The Williams Company has spent $2,359,000.00. If they can spend this kind of cash for their industry to prosper, why can't they spend some cash coming up with ways to drill right?

Can you imagine what their PR budget is? They spend millions trying to convince us that natural gas is "clean burning". That money would be better spent on new technology to make the extraction of it healthier, safer, and more environmentally friendly.
