Apologies if this has already been discussed at length, i have to fly and don't have time to read the dozen or so pages  |
No problem here friend. My issue with natural gas can be summed up like this:
1. Methane (natural gas) is under pressure in the ground, and therefore leaks out into the atmosphere. The more pressure, the more will leak.
2. Methane is 20 times more damaging as a “greenhouse gas” that the CO2 produced when it is burned. Natural gas is therefore a natural pollutant.
3. Reduce the gas pressure by drilling and extracting, therefore less “natural pollutant” will vent to the atmosphere. Distribute the gas to be used as a fuel, converting it to a much less harmful CO2.
4. Along with the environmental and economic benefits, lives and treasure may also be saved. It is now widely speculated that “Bermuda Triangle” type events are caused by methane eruptions. If gas pressures are reduced the eruptions should be less frequent.
