During the first half of 2024, electricity-generating firms unveiled plans for the new gas-powered capacity equal to all capacity announced in 2020, according to data from Sierra Club cited by Bloomberg last month.

Natural gas-fired electricity generation in the United States has jumped year-to-date compared to the same period last year, as total power demand rose with warmer temperatures and demand from data centers.

The end of “fossil” fuels is the end of food.

All part of the plan.

I remember a time when we were told that natural gas was a fairly cleaning burning fuel, much more so than gasoline.

Nat gas wells have been paying big on their mineral rights lately. That means they are making good profits. There is about a two month lag between selling product and paying shareholders.

I’m sure this is nonsense.

More dependent?

I’d say more self-reliant.

Fossil fuels are the greatest and most abundant forms of energy.

Hold on, comparing generating electricity from natural gas versus coal is nonsense if you are worried about carbon emissions. Natural gas emits about a third of what coal does. Even if we have similar percentages from fossil fuels, our emissions are much lower.

This entire "climate change" hoax is such a well-produced and promoted plan by many in world governments to control us and the planet. For the most part, it sure seems to be working.

I am struck by other hoaxes thrust upon us. Remember Y2K and COVID? The primary difference with these two examples is that there was a short time horizon before the truth revealed the big lies. Turns out Y2K didn't crash the planet, and COVID was not the plague, nor was the totally "safe and effective" so-called vax actually safe and effective.

Not so true with climate change. Climate change is happening every day until who knows when. It's the gift that keeps on giving for them 'cause we all see climate changes every day -- and they know it.

How brilliant and what a shame!

Okay, now throw in China’s massive programs to build coal-fired plants all over see how the CO2 pollution (and other elements like sulfur, etc.) figure in the equation.

The solution is nuclear, but the left has demonized it for decades.
