'Back in July, Data for Progress published a national poll with a shocking result: 50 percent of likely voters believe natural gas is a form of clean energy.
That’s bonkers. Natural gas is not a form of clean energy. It is a high-polluting fossil fuel made almost entirely of methane, and its climate and public health impacts have been well-documented by scientific literature over many decades.
So why do so many people believe otherwise?
Turns out, it’s not because people are stupid. It’s because we’ve all been subject to a decades-long industry influence campaign targeted at politicians and the public, designed to convince us that methane gas is “natural” fuel that’s good for our bodies and the environment.''
