hey liz, if natural gas is such a GREAT option, you can come to my farm and take the gas well off it and put it on yours. i’m sure you’ll enjoy smelling gas, drinking gas, not being able to grow food, and those wonderful endocrine disruptors. you can have your land sucked dry for over consumption and capitalism too, it’s a great option, everyone wins!

LNG or liquified natural gas (which represents most of the natural gas we import) makes up a VERY small percentage of the natural gas we use, its averaged around 3% the past few years. Natural gas that is produced here, in the United States domestically, is a great asset for our country and its disengenous for you to paint natural gas in an unfair light just because you dont like IMPORTED natural gas. The reality of our energy situation isnt going to get us to 100% wind or solar anytime soon and we need a bridge to get us there. Natural Gas is a great option. There is a ton of it here in the US too. Employ americans, use our own energy and do it cleanly and cheaply!! Everyone wins.

For those who so dislike natural gas, they can always take cold showers, cook on wood stoves, and do without space heating in the winter months. For those who so dislike fossil fuels in general and nuclear power, they can always ride bicycles, use candles at night, do without air conditioning in the summer months, and do without washers and dryers, television, computers, vacuum cleaners, etc.
Or better still, they can always get their butts in gear and create their own roof-top solar energy
systems, windmills, or whatever, but if they do, they should really not expect their neighbors to help fund those marvelous energy projects that they so desire.

“the impact of natural gas hits international communities as well as local areas with intense environmental destruction and social injustice.”

Before making such sweeping statements it might be a good idea to build your case and give examples. I can think of many LNG projects where the opposite is the true and one can demonstrate how environmental destruction and social injustice has been eased by the development of an LNG project.

By the way, did the quote come from a renewables report? Possibly one about biofuels?
