    Natural gas, well-known for being a clean source of energy:

    Leaks Can Make Natural Gas as Bad for the Climate as Coal, a Study Says

    Study: Methane leaks from U.S. oil-and-gas region worse than estimates

    I’m sure someone will try to tell me why increasing natural gas production is a good thing or that this is tankie propaganda in support of coal.

      Production from here will likely further displace Russian production, making their economy even worse.

      Still not great for the environment either way though.

        Isn’t Russia just shipping everything to China and India, instead? And India is just playing the arbitrage game and reselling to Europe?

          Probably, but more supply pushes down the value of all gas, especially when you can just pipe it around Europe, rather than getting it from India.

        Wait I forgot about this. Ngl I’m in favor of pumping this shit out of the ground to provide for Europe starting next year or the year after, it would be a better project than most in planning and way better than the huge boats of LNG.

      I mean, natural gas is less carcinogenic and less polluting of the environment than coal overall, even if the methane production is terrible for the climate. Clearly solar, wind, geothermal, and nuclear energy are much better options in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and overall pollution though.

        Sure, absolutely, natural gas burns cleaner than coal and doesn’t need as much infrastructure to avoid dumping particulates into the air, but governments and O&G companies want you to believe that it’s reducing GHG emissions and that’s just not really true.

      No, but we’re going to want something for all of our aid. We’ve never given anything for free. Probably some strong arm package where we get great rates on the LNG and also get to install key parts of their new economy. And we’ll stick around to rebuild infrastructure as long as our corporations can get some perks, too.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
