But natural gas IS a fossil fuel.

Which brings me to... Stuff Environmentalists Like

plentymag.com



An excerpt:

Traditionally, environmentalists have not been in very high demand as friends. This is in part because they have developed a reputation for being long-winded and angry about the state of things, because they want you to replace all of your belongings with green ones, and because until now, they have been largely inaccessible, living in communal farms in Vermont and in the world’s biggest hippie compound—commonly re­ferred to as the Pacific Northwest. They can seem like a very difficult group to infiltrate and eventually exploit.

Shhhh. They don't know natural gas is a CO2 producing fossil fuel. Seriously. Nancy Pelosi said it wasn't. And she's not the only one.

I can't get over an SI liberal who posted on another thread that burning natural gas actually lowers greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

So if we burn it to fuel our cars, that creates a new greenhouse gas sink.

Shhh. Don't tell Nancy Pelosi. She doesn't think it is.
