“Natural” gas is still a fossil fuel, still emits byproducts we dont want in the atmosphere, and has become the primary form of green-washing industries. It must be safe because they named it “natural” right?!
I like how we collectively create nanny-states, then turn around and bitch when the cops have too much power. I hate how there really isn’t any good solution to many problems because of the human factor.
