The state\u2019s vast natural gas output comes from major production areas such as the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, and Haynesville Shale. Advances in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling have significantly boosted Texas\u2019s natural gas production, allowing it to tap into previously inaccessible shale formations. Texas\u2019s dominance in natural gas supports its status as an energy leader, contributing to lower energy prices, energy independence, and a shift toward cleaner fuels in the U.S. power sector, as natural gas emits fewer pollutants than coal.","mcq_options":[{"right":"yes","answer":"Texas"},{"right":"no","answer":"Louisiana"},{"right":"no","answer":"Alaska"},{"right":"no","answer":"Pennsylvania"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1846,"title":"Geography of the United States","slug":"geography-of-the-united-states"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1759,"title":"Energy Sources in the United States","slug":"energy-sources-in-the-united-states"},{"id":1756,"title":"Natural Resources in the United States","slug":"natural-resources-in-the-united-states"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/11494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=11494"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=11494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
