Clean Natural Gas is a Lie
Well of course it’s a lie. It’s a euphemism for “Not as dirty as the dirtiest thing there is.” Even “Relatively cleaner,” would be a lie. “Less dirty” does not mean “clean”. “Less black” does not mean “white”, and “less evil” does not mean “good,” unless you are a mealy-mouthed apologist waiting for a corporate handout from an industry you otherwise consider corrupt and dishonest.
It’s just a dirty (not “less clean”) tactic of a filthy industry.
Beyond that, here’s news about how truly dirty natural gas is:
According to Newswise:
Extracting natural gas from the Marcellus Shale could do more to aggravate global warming than mining coal, according to a Cornell study published in the May issue of the peer-reviewed journal Climatic Change Letters.
I expect that the typical disingenuous arguments will be made against this study, such as, “There’s no such thing as global warming. It’s all a liberal conspiracy – the space aliens in my attic told me so,” etc.
