The unholy crusade against gas appliances
Phasing out natural gas-fired electric power generation by 2030 is bedrock dogma in the Green New Deal.
All electric? Watch now
BY MARK MATHIS: In Berkeley California, the City Council has voted to ban natural gas in all new low-rise residential buildings. This bad idea is spreading to other parts of the country.
American cities and others moving to ban natural gas and repeat Germany’s climate failures

U.S. natural gas is the new, global, soft power weapon
Lower LNG prices stymie terrorist-financing budgets in Tehran and lower the ability for Putin’s Russia to weaponize their energy assets for geopolitical adventures in Ukraine, Crimea, Syria, Central Asian and the Middle East.

The Northeast’s pipeline pinch
Why are New England states paying more for natural gas than surrounding states (sometimes a LOT more) when the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays are nearby? WATCH NOW
New England starved for natural gas despite world boom

New York eco-extremists vs. the middle class

Northeastern states aren’t even close to meeting their climate goals
The Northeast pays 56 percent more for its energy than the national average and has little to show for it.
America is an increasingly minor CO2 emitter
The United States and Western democracies as a whole are increasingly minor players among global carbon dioxide emitters, U.S. EPA data show. Without dramatic emissions reductions in China, India, and other developing nations, dramatic reductions in the United States, Western Europe, and Japan will have little impact on global carbon dioxide emissions. According to EPA data (https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/global-greenhouse-gas-emissions-data), the United States, Western Europe, and Japan account for a cumulative 28% of global carbon dioxide emissions. China alone accounts for 30%, India accounts for 7%, and the rest of the world cumulatively accounts for 35%. The share of global emissions from the United [...]
