What's Cooking with Natural Gas?

What's Cooking with Natural Gas? - Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming - 2008-07-30 - The Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming held a hearing on what role natural gas can play in a climate-friendly energy future on Wednesday July 30, 2008. Natural gas plays a critical role in numerous sectors of our economy from home heating to chemical production to electricity generation to transportation fuel. With 3.4 percent of global natural gas reserves, the United States has the fifth largest reserves in the world. Since a low in 1986, domestic consumption of natural gas has generally increased and its uses have broadened. Natural gas has especially become popular as a cleaner alternative to coal in the electrical utility sector and gasoline and diesel in the transportation sector. As Congress considers energy policies that will increase our energy independence and help solve global warming, understanding the role of natural gas in our economy and how it might contribute to energy policies is critical.

Natural gas is not cleaner than coal, and its turning our country into one big toxic shithole. They already poisoned aquifers in 5 states. Then there's the millions of gallons of radioactive & toxic chemical waste being dumped into the very rivers and streams that supply drinking water to millions of people. And lets not forget the earthquakes, which I won't get into. To top it all off, the Govt. is hiding tech that makes all fossil fuels obsolete. Enjoy the cancer & chemo people.
