Record US natural gas use is covered up by politicians

Last year, more natural gas was used as a primary energy source than ever before in the entire history of the U.S. and its use continues to *increase* even more this year.

This ^ simple fact is deliberated covered up by:

》corrupt politicians,

》corrupt Professional Climate Panic alarmists,

》and especially by the corrupt Legacy “Mainstream” Media.

==========================

“Last year was a record year for domestic natural gas consumption, and its supply wouldn’t have been possible without record U.S. production, led by Texas, according to several reports.

Texas produced the equivalent of one-third of the natural gas consumed last year, with Texas producers breaking multiple records last year, The Center Square reported.

In 2023, Americans consumed 89.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas as a primary energy source.

● Natural gas was the top energy source powering homes and businesses.

● Last year’s consumption was “the most on record,” the U.S. Energy Information said in a recent report.

● Since 2018, domestic natural gas consumption has increased by an average of 4% annually, according to EIA’s analysis.

… As the Biden administration has introduced policies to limit LNG exports, block domestic production on federal lands, and advance federal regulatory restrictions on the industry while also advancing subsidies for “renewable” energy companies, Longanecker points out,

“Natural gas is critical to keeping the lights on. Time and time again, we’ve seen natural gas deliver dispatchable power when the grid faces strains on supply amid demand spikes.

From heatwaves to winter storms, natural gas will only grow in importance as the amount of intermittent power sources on the grid increases.

To put it simply, our grid will fail if left to renewables alone.”

    yep, I'm aware.

    Globally, demand and consumption of *all* sources of energy continue to increase, except for hydro as far as I know. Haven't heard of any new major dams being built to generate electricity.

    Global demand for oil, coal, natural gas, solar, wind, geothermal, have continued to increase for decades, with the exception of the outlier years of the totally insane Covid lockdowns which temporarily reduced demand.

    Increases in solar and wind are mostly in the woke Western countries, while much of the rest of the world increases its consumption of coal and natural gas.

    Coal power generation plants and nuclear plants that were shut down prematurely by the virtue signalling West are being reopened.

    AI data centers and Google data centers are currently driving massive energy consumption.

    ● AI data centers and Google data centers will likely singlehandedly destroy the ephemeral unicorn pipe dream of an "energy transition" to wind and solar.

    Data centers require reliable energy which intermittent wind and solar *cannot* provide.

    China and India are moving forward with building more coal power plants.
