6. Mostly they serve as greenwashing machines for the natural gas industry.

While we carry on about nuclear power, solar power, wind power, and batteries the greatest threat to the earth's environment as we know it is the natural gas industry. That will be our ruin.

Burning gas for energy certainly isn't clean and it certainly isn't natural. Compared to coal or oil, which are obviously not clean, many people turn a blind eye to natural gas.

I am of course a hypocrite, as many of us are, sitting here in my warm house heated with natural gas.

My electricity is mostly, if not all, solar as I write this but that will change as the sun goes down.
