![]() The we-want-Cove-Point-team didn’t even attempt to calculate those pesky potential greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). It does not matter that gas burns cleaner in heaters and power plants, because that leaked methane is global warming’s loaded gun it’s 86 times more potent than CO₂. This is depressing because fracked gas emissions are worse than coal’s. New scientific research reveals that methane leaks associated with fracking for natural gas are three times worse than suspected. A startling factor revealed in one of the few governmental reports analyzing the public benefit of exporting gas is that power plants will switch back to coal because natural gas gets pricier. Plastics and chemical companies are peeved about exports because rising gas prices slam their businesses. And industrial gas rates are expected to rise, too. But low prices are expected to rise as U.S. Fracking’s extra gas supply has forced down natural gas rates. If you heat your home with natural gas, you may have noticed your winter utility bill has been low.
