Recent headlines report on research confirming that LNG has a far
greater negative impact on climate change than coal. I have been waiting
for D or Dimwire to raise this topic but not holding my breath. Back in
2014 the US was offering IMF and World Bank funding to Ukraine to
develop its natural gas industry to gain independence from Russia
despite a required doubling in the Ukranian price of gas and the Biden
crime family was profiting from that was part of that   A side benefit
of the US proxy war with Russia has been a significant increase in gas
exports for the US so neither Trump nor Harris are likely to consider
this problem if they obtain the power to do so. Almost fracking
unbelievable!

Most coal, depending on the coal mine, is 70% to 100% carbon (I am
unsure about peat moss which may have a different range of carbon).
The other possible 30% can be up to 6% H2S (makes SO2), and up to 29%
volatiles and sand (SiO2).  Most of the volatiles is CH4 (coal gas
which makes CO2 and H2O) but there can be some CO2 and N2 trapped in
there also.  I have run coal (lignite) units in the past with so much
sand embedded in it that the coal was red, not black.  We called that
lignite coal burner Mikey (it was Sandow Steam Electric Station #4, a
six million hp steam boiler).

LNG (liquefied natural gas) is 90+% CH4.  There is some ethane and
propane in there with possibly a little CO2 and/or N2.  CH4 combusts
to 60% CO2 and 40% H2O.  LNG is created by liquefying natural gas, the
cost is generally 6% of the LNG to be liquefied.

So coal combusts to almost 100% CO2 and SO2 with possibly some H2O in
the 1% to 10% range.  LNG combusts to 60% CO2 and 40% H2O.  I submit
that LNG is better for the aforementioned rules.

 Have I just won an award for the first off topic post in several decades
to this group?
 

     It is not pertinent to this Newsgroup at all but that is one of
the characteristics of Trolls spreading disinformation at the behest
of either their own or other causes that they do not care a whit for
the nature of the group in or its interests. They just have to get
the lies out.

Thank you, Bliss, for your on topic contributions to the group.
Major off topic subjects that have been extremely popular in recent
years include Electric vs ICE vehicles, Covid 19 and AGW.
The "lies" I am getting out are from established and respected media.

If as you say you are getting these bits of disinformation
from respected sources look online at their sites and give us
URLs for the articles. If you are not a Troll then excuse me
for so categorizing your posts.
A great part of the respected media are silent on theee
topics but to point to Biden as an offender is to dismiss the
fact that most of these respected media are owned by rich people
whose income will be theatened by the extension of Democratic
tax polieies to get back money that was ill spent on stock buy
backs rather then the employee retention and plant improvements
for which they were given money due to Covid-19 worst restrictive
policies. So-called "Liberal Media" is a Republican Myth even
in San Francisco where the remaining 'respected media' chose to
promote the Mayoral candidacy of a the richest man in the race.
