Natural gas as a source of energy is a lot less clean than advertised, almost as bad as coal, even without gas stoves, (due to fugitive methane emissions, yes, but not in your home)
- stjohnswarts 5y agoIt burns far cleaner than coal and puts out half as much CO2. Have you ever stood next to a coal fire in real life?
- clusterfish 5y agoFFS read about it. It burns clean at use site but causes tons of largely unmeasured methane emissions at extraction site, to the point where it's 50%-70% as bad as coal. Except it's worse because clueless people think it's great so they're building even more gas plants which will work for decades to come, whereas coal at least is being shut down.
