What are the factual errors here?
> promoting claims that natural gas is a green or low carbon fuel, even though research by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says otherwise.
Context matters here. I have usually seen natural gas discussed in comparison to coal. And in that context, especially if you calculate point source emissions only, it is definitely true.
> continued use of oil as affordable, reliable and important to keep the US from relying on other countries for its energy supply.
Is any of this factually inaccurate? It is affordable on account of being the standard. It is reliable as we all use it without a second thought. And it is probably the energy source that is most reliably American at the current on account of rare earths.
There are still lots of areas where there are no real non oil and gas solutions, like steel making or tires.
I personally don't see oil and gas having much of a future long term, so I am by no means on their side, but if you want to fact check, you need to do it with a specific claim in context and the article gives no indication that this is what is going on.

- MattGaiser 5y agoThe USA controls the supply chain for obtaining energy from oil and most oil used in the USA comes from the USA. This is not the case with solar in my understanding. Not sure about wind.
