Production fell 20% in the first quarter, compared on the year before, to 22.85 petajoules.

Echelon Resources CEO Andrew Jefferies told Mike Hosking we're not going to get more gas without looking for it. 

He says gas provides nearly the same amount of energy electricity does, so people can't do without it.
