Related to collapse because when all the factors are considered, natural gas may be as bad for greenhouse effect as coal.
I don’t know if you guys remember these headlines a few years back, “Renewables have overtaken Coal!” - What actually happened, for the purpose of electrical production, more natural gas was used, less coal, and renewables just creeped up slightly. Coal went under renewables upon being replaced by natural gas. But that’s the real story, natural gas replaced coal (about half) circa 1990s, renewables didn’t go through the roof as mainstream media implied.
Anyway, natural gas was supposed to be much better for the environment and less polluting than coal, producing much less CO2 and thus slowing climate change. Turns out, perhaps that was all BS and natural gas is as bad or even worse when taken with all of its full effects.
