Evidently, the American Natural Gas Alliance (ANGA) has decided to join the debate over America’s energy future—after having previously confessed that they’ve been asleep at the wheel on the issue.
Today, ANGA placed an ad in the Washington Post claiming we can reduce America’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 50 percent right now. All we have to do is slash coal use by more than half while doubling use of natural gas.
Sound too good to be true?
It is.
Whether the infrastructure for this massive conversion is already in place (power plants, natural gas pipelines, etc.) is highly debatable.
The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) is committed to the idea that America can have the affordable, reliable electricity we need, with the clean environment we want. ACCCE’s Behind the Plug blog is the place for up-to-date news and analysis on clean coal technology developments and energy policy progress.
