I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels.

And not only about natural gas and fossil fuels either.

Nazi Piglosi...

Intelligence is not part of her game plan. The basic idea is that if you can get the bottom 51% of the population to vote your way, you can rule. Being clueless is not a liability within that system.

The simplest way for power utilities to reduce greenhouse emissions is to convert from coal to gas.
In e.g. Europe, power companies have shifted to burning a larger percentage of gas to generate power - resulting in less greenhouse emissions and thus less demand for carbon credits.

And I suppose that most would agree that compressed natural gas (aka methane) is a cleaner alternative to petrol and diesel.

I think the point was not the merits of natural gas though. The point is that Pelosi apparently thinks natural gas is not a fossil fuel.

Well, many European energy companies but American like EXXON as well say similar: natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels. (Public transport buses here have the slogan: "powered by natural gas - the clean alternative to fossil diesel".)

There is a difference between 'fossil fuel' and 'fossil diesel'. But seriously, where do European countries think natural gas comes from if it is not a fossil fuel?

One difference might be the language (your 'gas' is 'petrol' here as you know).
The main reason for the difference, in my opinion, is that the low carbon:hydrogen ratio with natural gas AND the lower price just leads people and especially energy companies (and the EU) focus here more on the "environmental friendliness" than on the fossil origin.
(EXXON and EON recently run adverts pointing at the environmental friendliness of natural gas opposed to oil in various European countries.)


From the environmental standpoint, I think that fuel oil versus natural gas is a lose-lose proposition.

T. Boone kicks ass. People should listen.
