I just ran across this great infographic about how Natural Gas compares to sustainable forms of power generation and collection. It’s pretty eye-opening; even Uranium mining looks fairly attractive when compared to natural gas, and that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard all week. I’ve posted a 650px version of the infographic, but this thing is beautiful and informative – so go to check out the original!
I work on a drilling rig that drills for natural gas in Pennsylvania, and the major oil company that I work for goes to great lengths to make as little impact on the earth as possible. Honestly if they found a better way that was cost effective to create the same energy I would think it was a great thing. But for now natural gas is the way things are going and I believe its being extracted in the safest way possible. Â
