What is so Natural about Natural Gas?
As a Nurse Practitioner I see plenty of people addicted to heroine. Yes, some of them make it off by using methadone, an opioid causing dependence.
Just as the people of this country are addicted to petroleum and dirty coal they are offered a solution…’natural gas’.
Don’t be fooled by the name natural as if this is a healthy alternative. It is not. Natural Gas is in reality 87% Methane. Methane is one of the three most harmful gasses trapping heat in the atmosphere. In fact methane is 21 times more effective in trapping heat than Carbon Dioxide and directly contributes to Global Warming. Burning methane /natural gas is still using fossil fuels and requires drilling. It is not a solution to addiction.
The fact is these industries will only offer information that they would like you to know like how clean a burn it is. They don’t tell you it will make our planet over twenty times hotter. They know the majority of people don’t care where any of the power comes from, just so it is there.
If you are reading this, you care. You can make a difference. Squawk, holler, scream, streak do what ever is necessary to demand clean renewable energy now. That means wind, solar, waves, bio-fuels and geo thermal. Don’t even consider nuclear after seeing our government and our presidents response to the persistent catastrophe in Gulf. They will never protect us. We must make change from the bottom up if there is time.
