A large natural gas deposit has been uncovered in the Carpathians at a site previously believed to have been depleted, Ukrainian state gas extraction company UkrGasVydobuvannya announced on Nov. 17.
I mean, natural gas is less carcinogenic and less polluting of the environment than coal overall, even if the methane production is terrible for the climate. Clearly solar, wind, geothermal, and nuclear energy are much better options in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and overall pollution though.
Sure, absolutely, natural gas burns cleaner than coal and doesn’t need as much infrastructure to avoid dumping particulates into the air, but governments and O&G companies want you to believe that it’s reducing GHG emissions and that’s just not really true.
