"Environmental Protection Agency chief Gina McCarthy said natural-gas production — with the right safeguards -- is a major piece of Obama administration efforts to combat global warming."

"'Responsible development of natural gas is an important part of our work to curb climate change and support a robust clean energy market at home,' she said Wednesday at a speech in Colorado, according to prepared remarks.

The comments are part of a wider administration effort to cast the U.S. gas production boom as a way to help slow global warming."
