massacre,

Except you did reply to this. With ad hominem attacks of being emotional and annoying. Instead of with any kind of counter argument. All supposedly because I used some caps for emphasis. lol

Show us the facts - I don’t care about opinions (including my own). But… here’s some info for you. Perhaps I can change your position…

No? Still think regulating this is an overreach? I’m not even saying we can magically get to net-zero carbon immediately. I use NG for heat and gasoline in my vehicle. I’m no hypocrite - I am making investments in efficiency and will eventually be all electric with a large solar setup. This takes time and money and not everyone can do that. Oil and Gas have their place in the transition to renewable power.

We must regulate an industry that we continue to prop up with 100s of billions in subsidies and which get super special treatment by our lawmakers due to outsized lobbying and coushy jobs waiting in the wings for enablers after leaving government. On its face, the regulation proposed looks to correct for decades of (self) under-reported emissions. They’re being asked to play fairly. But listen, if you can show where those regulations are “poorly designed” I’ll most certainly read it if it comes from a neutral 3rd party who isn’t paid by the NG companies or their lobbying proxies. Like I said above, the climate town video actually does a great job explaining - certainly better than I have. So there - is it that you won’t respond or that you can’t?
