Natural Gas: the obvious link to a renewable future
Could natural gas be the link to a renewable energy future? Could it be the energy to bridge the gap between fossil fuels and alternative energy?
In my recent blog, Natural Gas: From eternal flames, lamp lights to heating homes, I highlighted some of the milestones from the Natural Gas Industry. Let’s not let recent incidents, like the Marcellus Shale accident deflate our sails. Now is not the time to acquiesce. Sure, we need to do things safer and better, but we need to keep moving forward.
There is no argument we should move toward a future of total renewable energy. No one disputes that fossil fuels harm the environment. But we’re not even close to being able to satisfy our country’s energy needs with just alternative energies. So where does that leave us? If natural gas isn’t the energy of choice, we’re left with coal, which could be an environmental disaster, or we’re left to importing oil from foreign countries – need I say more?
I say, let’s choose natural gas, the cleaner fossil fuel to link to alternative fuels. Let’s learn from our mistakes, make our processes safer, create a few jobs while we’re at it and make this clean energy lead the charge to a total renewable future.
