The Politico is reporting that President Obama has issued an executive order to coordinate administration activities on natural gas issues.  "The order creates a working group that includes various White House offices such as the Council on Environmental Quality and National Economic Council, as well as relevant cabinet departments and agencies like Interior, EPA and Department of Homeland Security."

For a copy, see here (Executive Order -- Supporting Safe and Responsible Development of Unconventional Domestic Natural Gas Resources).  Does the fact that it was issued on Friday the 13th mean anything?
