Soylent Green traumatized me and although I was too young to fully understand the movie’s meaning, “Soylent Green is People,” and “The Ocean is dying,” haunted me throughout most of my life.

While natural gas combustion at power plants produces half the carbon of a coal-fired power plant, that doesn’t mean natural gas is a clean fuel, Western Environmental Law Center staff attorney and Southwest Office Director Erik Schlenker-Goodrich says.
“There’s this myth that natural gas is a clean energy source, and the canard that’s often tossed around is that the combustion of natural gas is cleaner than combustion of coal,” he says. “But when you look at the life-cycle emissions, the production process is quite dirty and quite wasteful.”
While the natural gas industry is positioning itself as a climate solution, he says, lawmakers must remember natural gas is a part of the climate problem.
Reality is too scary for Halloween.

There are NO regulations or controls which prevent the burning of bad gas in gas fired power plants! The so-called results of emissions are based on burning pure CH4 and in reality they are burning bad gas in the generating plants! Check me out!
That's a very good point, for an H2S safety video I saw emphasized that H2S concentrations vary moment to moment in gas well flows. Plus, there's CO2 & other gases in natural gas that are not always stripped out 100%. EPNG's 2000 Carlsbad pipeline failure was due to water & corrosives not being fully removed before they were put into their system by gas suppliers.
