It also was the beginning of the notion of a “transition” fossil fuel. They warned that the cheaper-than-coal fossil fuel natural gas had the potential to push aside investments in developing renewable energy such as solar and wind, as well as carbon capture and storage. In a 2010 study conducted by Massachusetts Institute of Technology economists predicted that the rapidly expanding domestic natural gas market – successful due to the new science of hydraulic fracturing – would produce a source of energy that quickly diminished the use of coal-fired power plants because it was cheaper. gas, pumping about 4 billion cubic feet a day, says on its website as of this writing: “Clean burning natural gas is an important part of our country’s energy mix, and we are proud to be a major producer of natural gas and even prouder to produce it in an environmentally responsible manner.” Whatever the claim, the record on natural gas says otherwise, overwhelmingly.įracking becomes acceptable, even blessed
Pittsburgh EQT, the largest supplier of U.S. But such criminal “traditions” carries on to this day. So it is with the statement that the use of natural gas is a bridge to a clean, renewable energy future.Įxxon Mobil, fifty years ago, was the first to obscure and lie about the dangers that fossil fuels pose to the climate. Slick salespeople and evil doers know that if you keep uttering the same lie that eventually enough people will believe it.
