Natural gas has long been considered a good,cleaner transitional fuel until wind and solar ready for "prime time." Yesterdays New York Times shows that along with nuclear, natural gas is "out." See
Leaks Can Make Natural Gas as Bad for the Climate as Coal, a Study Says. Apparently, we're in for our life styles being slashed to appease John Kerry. Oh, did I mention that he's saving the planet with the help of private jet travel. See John Kerry scorched for misleading on private jet use.

He plausibly denies literally owning a private jet. But he doesn't deny traveling on one. Link.

I support fossil fuels. There has never been greater prosperity and I believe abandoning them means abandoning prosperity for all but the very rich.

The prosperity came at a price, and now it's ending. We've depleted all the easily accessed sources, and those remaining are increasingly difficult and environmentally hazardous to access. Moreover, the negative effects of our profligate usage of fossil fuels are becoming more and more pronounced.
