More From Ralph Nader

Today, natural gas now outstrips coal as the leading provider of electricity in america. if this is as big as people believe it is, natural gas will soon be powering trucks and marine ships. maybe even standard commercial cars that people use at home through compressed natural gas, other gas to liquids. the potential is there for more energy independence by america and a reliance on cleaner fuel - natural gas emits half as much as coal, in terms of carbon emissions. that's a real bounty.

Letting the perfect be the enemy of the good is one of the reasons we have a coal-dependent infrastructure, with the resulting environmental impact that all of us can see. i suspect environmentalists, through their opposition of nuclear power, have caused more coal plants to be built than anybody. and those coal plants have emitted more radioactive material from the coal than any nuclear accident would have.
Impact Perfect Enemy
In the near future, despite the development of alternative energy, when you look at the economics and environmental standards, then there's no other source of primary energy in the world than natural gas. well, perhaps there is nuclear energy but there are also a lot of issues there and there are opponents of nuclear energy. gas doesn't have those opponents. but there is a country that is, obviously, the world leader in gas reserves. that's our country, the russian federation.
Country Leader Environmental
How did we make the transition from using wood to using coal, from using coal to using oil, from using oil to using natural gas? how in god's name did we make that transition without a federal energy agency?
Oil Agency Government
It is very different to make a practical system and to introduce it. a few experiments in the laboratory would prove the practicability of system long before it could be brought into general use. you can take a pipe and put a little coal in it, close it up, heat it and light the gas that comes out of the stem, but that is not introducing gas lighting. i'll bet that if it were discovered to-morrow in new york that gas could be made out of coal it would be at least five years before the system would be in general use.

What i want is natural gas to be a bridge to a cleaner energy future, not a dam against a cleaner energy future, not a dead end. to get this right, to get the most out of it, we not only have to make sure we exploit natural gas in a clean way - it's a challenge - but we also have to make sure that we are instilling and implementing all the incentives to win solar, nuclear energy efficiency that will make them continually competitive with natural gas in the future.
