“Natural gas…crushing wind & solar power: Why isn’t anyone talking about it?”
At FoxBusiness.com: “The U.S. Energy Information Administration just announced some spectacular news that should be banner headlines across the country: The price of natural gas has fallen to its lowest February level in 20 years. The data shows that natural gas prices fell to $1.77 per million British thermal units. In inflation-adjusted terms, the price of gas has plunged by some 80 percent since its high of $13.60 12 years ago. The price is down 90 percent since 2005, when prices hit nearly $20. (Quick: Can you think of anything else that now costs one-tenth of what it did 15 years ago?)”
Only the heavily invested…and their useful idiot base…cling to a Green energy HOAX.
(And don’t forget foreign energy-exporter nations: Russia, wanting to keep natural gas prices artificially high to support an otherwise anemic domestic economies, & Middle East nations, who once held us hostage while back-dooring dollars to terrorism.)
“America is now the Saudi Arabia of natural gas…we are exporting more throughout the world than at any previous time in our history…a decade ago, we were importing natural gas. Thanks to fracking and horizontal drilling technologies that keep getting more and more efficient, we now have hundreds of years of supply of this fuel.” (emphasis added)
THAT’S why the Green energy crowd’s dead-set against fracking; as natural gas prices go down, the comparative cost of their idiot windmill/solar energy generation becomes increasingly non-competitive…nations like Russia can’t overcharge for energy; nations in the Middle East no longer have a strangle-hold on our energy-reliant economy.
Plus, think of the emerging nations and how they benefit from the reduced energy costs that contribute a HUGE jump-start to their fledgling industrial sectors…and how their struggling citizenry benefit from reduced utility costs. Rising tides lift ALL boats.
Only the most ill-informed…or heavily invested…can keep touting Green programs, when you think of the obvious benefits carbon-based natural gas provides:
- CO2 is a life-giving element crucial to the environment, and it’s current level is 1/4 to 1/10 of what it was earlier in history, often when the environment thrived;
- Low Cost energy is a vital element of emerging nation prosperity;
- Our reduction of carbon emissions due to nat’l gas use is greatly enhanced;
- We no longer rely on the Middle East for energy;
- America’s leading-edge extraction technology makes us globally competitive;
- No Other Nation Has Done More To Reduce World-Wide Poverty…
…why would anyone want to stall that kind of U.S. progress with Green pipedreams?
Easy answer…when money- or power-grabbing is involved, some will do anything.
Seriously – Why isn’t the story of our natural gas success Front-Page News?
The answers are ugly…self-serving…and dangerous.
