You know those stickers on buses, taxi cabs, and gas company vehicles that say "Powered by clean natural gas?" Well it turns out that the resources to obtain that gas do more to pollute the earth then the so called benefits of the "clean natural gas."
"According to Bloomberg, drilling and fracking results in greenhouse gases second only to coal power plants
in the United States. From the article, 'Emissions from drilling,
including fracking, and leaks from transmission pipes totaled 225
million metric tons of carbon-dioxide equivalents during 2011, second
only to power plants, which emitted about 10 times that amount.'
According to Mother Jones, we now have more giant methane fireballs than
any other country in the world and we can now see once dim North Dakota at night from space."
