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.
