You realize natural gas is one of the more environmentally friendly methods of generating power. Lots of work went into moving to natural gas generation to improve the environmental impact for electricity generation.
This is nothing like burning coal.
as other have mentioned tons of portable generators are no where near as safe as power plants and these are built right next to people's homes with no oversight or regulation.
More greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, speeding up global climate change. Renewables or don’t do it.
This natural gas burning is suited too close to where people live.
You do understand natural gas burns very clean? People burn it in their houses to cook with it!
People burn coal to heat their houses. That doesn't mean it's healthy. Gas stoves are known to cause asthma.
Most municipalities ban nat gas in new construction because it’s so unhealthy and unsafe compared to an induction or resistive electric range. No, it doesn’t boil water faster than electric either.
While the burning of methane is cleaner, the extraction of methane is a massive source of uncontrolled pollution emissions which is made worse by the fact that methane is 20x worse for greenhouse effect than CO2. Clean methane is another green washing myth to encourage people to keep consuming at much as possible
A lot of it is just captured during oil extraction, whereas before it just wasn't captured.
