I can’t read that article without being logged in but, based on your username, I’m guessing it says it’s a fuel trap?

I will say, this video from Climate Town was pretty eye opening for me on the topic of natural gas today: https://youtu.be/K2oL4SFwkkw?si=TYax0lIF3CZsPPjx

Paywalled, but I'm gonna go with fossil fuel trap. We need to be completely off fossil fuels by about 2050. Any new major natural gas infrastructure being built now is expected to last longer than 2050. Even new residential gas furnaces are probably expected to last around 20 years or so.

Is it renewable? No?? Then you can fuck all the way off, fossil Exec's from fossil fuel companies...

I grew up near gas hubs, where it's normal to have gas mains at home, have family employed by producers. They've been spinning this yarn as long as I can remember. It has not clean energy by any stretch, this is just the basic sales pitch for natural gas unchanged for like 30 years
