There is a myth that natural gas is green and environmental friendly but the reality is that its extraction is problematic. The combination of fracking, processing and transportation releases massive emissions of carbon dioxide and methane (a greenhouse gas that’s 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide) which results in accelerated climate change. Fracking has not decreased coal production but now more coal is exported. Due to Fracking hype we are distracting ourselves from supporting conservation and sustainable renewable energy programs which will lead to a healthy future.
