Natural gas is the world’s wonder fuel: cheap, abundant, made in America, reliable AND clean burning.
So why are the Biden administration and environmental groups against it? There’s really no good answer.
What makes the Left’s war against natural gas inexplicable is that the single biggest factor in reducing carbon [CO2] emissions into the atmosphere has been our increased reliance on natural gas for electric power generation as we transition slowly away from coal. [emphasis, links added]
(By the way, emissions from coal plants have been dramatically reduced as well, which is one reason why the air that we breathe today is much cleaner than the air 20 or 50, or 100 years ago.)
No country produces more natural gas than America.
Latest reserve forecasts predict we have nearly 100 years of natural gas with existing drilling technologies and hundreds of years of potential supply. We’re not running out. We are the Saudi Arabia of natural gas.
The two innovations that spurred the natural gas shale revolution of the last 15 years were horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. These drilling technologies tripled our supply and output almost overnight.
No single person is more responsible for this energy revolution than Harold Hamm of Continental Resources.
His new book “Game Changer” documents how drilling in places like the Bakken Shale in North Dakota and the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and West Virginia helped triple U.S. oil and gas supplies while lowering the price we pay for energy.
He tells me that the “U.S. natural gas price has fallen by more than half while the rest of the world has seen their prices double or triple.”
This means that our energy costs are a fraction of the costs that Europe and Asia pay. That is an immeasurable economic and geopolitical advantage America has.
All we need to be the world energy superpower is liquefied natural gas terminals, pipelines, and drilling permits.
We also need states to redefine natural gas as a “clean” and “net zero” form of energy so that utilities can use it. Why isn’t this happening?
The main reason is radical environmentalists want to end all oil and natural gas production, forcing utilities and consumers to get our power and transportation fuels from unreliable and expensive wind and solar power.
In pursuing this agenda, and moving away from the Trump pro-drilling policies, they are killing one of the cleanest forms of energy and costing the U.S. over $150 billion a year. For that amount of money, we could modernize every school in America.
Biden’s strategy appears to put America last. This explains why gas prices are back up to $4 a gallon.
If we don’t get smart and soon, those prices will be rising even more. Who benefits the most? Vladimir Putin and the Saudi oil sheiks.

Biden the Blunder is a Globalists there’s no doubt anymore that Biden is a Globalists/Socialists just like Clinton(Bill)and Obama
Maurice Strong, the father of the global warming movement in the UN said, “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” Their plan is obviously to cause the collapse of our civilization by making energy scarce and expensive. The war on natural gas isn’t for climate change, it is to help cause the collapse of industrialized civilizations. That is the “good answer” that the article says is missing.
