I think it’s super weird that we are suddenly even attempting to call LNG environmentally friendly, it has always been a mess

The one positive point is that methane-burning power plants can be spun up in under an hour whereas coal plants usually need a week to power up. If the vast majority of power comes from solar/wind/batteries and gas is only used as (secondary) backup, this may make sense.

Fossil marketing pretty successfully tries to eradicate the caveats and nuances from the discussion of course.

I don’t think anyone was actually buying that right?

The only people pushing for LNG were the oil companies selling it. Which, I mean, come on, we know better than to believe a word that comes from them.
