> Except natural gas is a hydrocarbon, isn't it?

Why is that disqualifying?

The problem is combustion’s emission of sequestered carbon. If you don’t have that you don’t have this problem.

The problems with natural gas are definitely not confined to combustion. Methane leakage is a huge problem.

That and if you just encourage more exploration, and it's cheaper to just burn the stuff anyways, guess what happens in the price conscious free market?

Nice job conveniently ignoring the dirty processing problem.

    You concluded it’s processed dirtily at the source based on that premise (“which means”). If you’re independently asserting that, you’d have a point.
