Natural gas is produced as a byproduct of gasoline production. He hasn’t done shit besides screw us out of access to a cleaner energy source we’re already producing.
You can re-inject it into the reservoir instead of burning it and dumping the resulting CO2 into the atmosphere. He’s done a good thing here, especially light of the incredible death toll from the by-products of combustion.
Yeah i criticize Biden all the time and while I’ll always say “he could go further” i can’t find enough to hate here. It actually looks kind of good. Ill have to dig deeper if i want to hate this move.
With all due respect, I do not think you understand what you’re talking about. Did you read the article?
Natural gas is commonly produced by fracking. And also, this is about export terminals.
these are export terminals… which are used by the industry to sell the product for more profit than they can get selling it domestically. it also eliminates the ocean-crossing trips made by those pollution-spouting tankers to deliver the product overseas.
This will drive down domestic energy prices as well. So naturally, Fox News cannot cover this
Na, they’ll cover it twenty four seven as an example of the radical left driving up energy prices for hardworking americans, full well knowing that anyone who would do more then take everything they say at face value has long since left.
Shit, you’re right. I was thinking of 2014 Fox News, not 2024 Fox News
Natural gas comes out of the ground naturally, and isn’t necessarily a by-product of gasoline refinement. I can’t speak from experience on the refinery side of things, but I can speak from experience on the upstream production side of things. The natural gas we use for power generation, and heat at the facility I work at essentially comes straight out of the ground with minimal processing. Any excess is put back in the ground. That’s specific to where I work. I imagine other places, the gas is separated out like we do and sent to “the market.”
Huh, TIL you can put it back in the ground. I was under the impression it had to be burned off.
