  • I don’t say this to promote fossil fuels whatsoever, but different fossil fuels are better or worse in different ways. Natural gas IIRC is one of the worst fossil fuels for greenhouse gas emissions short-term, especially with leaks and partially combusted fuel, but it dissipates much faster than the alternatives, with much lower CO2 emissions as well (something like 7 year half-life vs a thousand years). It’s definitely not clean and comes with its own set of problems, but let’s not assume all fossil fuels are created equal.

    I am 100% for switching away from all fossil fuels, and I don’t like natural gas being advertised as “clean”, but I feel this is important to note.
