Natural gas still is the most environmentally friendly way of making electricity 🏭
Natural gas still is the most environmentally friendly way of making electricity 🏭
I have long been a proponent of natural gas. I think when you holistically at impacts of natural gas, from the drilling and fracking of the wells, to the pipes and compressor stations, to the burning at the power plant, per unit of electricity generated, it really has one of the best environmental records. It’s not to say that producing electricity with gas doesn’t have it’s issues — it produces carbon dioxide, pipes leak methane and sometimes gas wells cause pollution — but on the kilowatt-by-killowatt basis it’s environmental record remains one of the best in the electricity generating industry.

Good Morning – February 12, 2022
Good morning! A nice weekend winter’s day in February. 🌤
Enjoy it today, snow showers and much colder tomorrow. But this afternoon should push 50 degrees, with lots of sun and a modest breeze. But then getting colder tomorrow into Valentine’s Day. Best of all, I don’t have to work this weekend.
Partly cloudy and 44 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌤 There is a west-southwest breeze at 14 mph. 🍃. There are 3 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 6 pm. ☃️
DIdn’t get a real early start this morning, 💤 actually slept in later then I expected.
Today I want to get out to Five Rivers for a nice walk 🐦 although first I might go down to library as I have some things I need to upload for Save the Pine Bush.
