This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Coal 675 billion kwh
Nuclear 775 billion kwh
Renewables 894 billion kwh
Natural Gas 1802 billion kwh
This meme is dumb and wrong. Funny tho.
Natural gas is not really an improvement π
I think Natural Gas is something like a 20% improvement over coal. So it is an improvement, but yeah it's still 80% bad and it's gotta go.

Now we have methane observation satellites we know that despite natural gas (methane) companies never having reported themselves for leaked methane, huge leaks have been observed (who'd have thought it was a faulty enforcement plan, asking companies to volunteer for fines)
Unfortunately the gas is odourless and colourless in visible light, so it has historically been hard to find leaks if you don't own a natural gas company
Methane is a many times worse greenhouse gas than CO2. On the up side natural gas isn't radioactive unlike coal
Only if it doesnβt leak. Unfortunately it loves to leak. Like all the time.
