Those who have dedicated themselves to shutting down the natural gas infrastructure in the United States are Putin’s useful idiots.
-
You do realize there is no transatlantic pipeline, right?
-
You have heard of LNG, right?
-
Uh yep. And the entire worlds fleet of some 500 storage ships, or so, can move less gas than your 1964 data point.
-
But it is possible, which is why in 2017 the first US LNG delivery arrived in the newly
opened LNG import terminal in Klaipėda, Lithuania

Here are some great sources to prove your point JB, since readers of the blog like facts and sources:

BTW, Mitt Romney just now, “Liz Cheney is right. She’s been right all along.”
Hey congrats guys! Your party’s on the move from vile and disgusting to merely untrustworthy… again.

You must work for the Post’s editorial board. You cannot respond to any statement beyond snark – ever.

You must be a lawyer… wait, it’s coming clear,… clearer…. Ah! A real estate lawyer.

As Biden marches the US into nuclear war with Putin…..over what? Preserving our ability to not let Ukraine into NATO, rather than agreeing with Moscow for the same outcome. BRILLIANT! Robert Gates & Barry Obama proven right again!

He also looks after the inebriated and irresponsible, which is probably why the GOP lays claim to the moral majority.

I’m amazed that Leftists oppose every form of energy production and energy transportation but still expect their heating, air conditioning, and lighting to be available 24 7 365. Nuclear powered hydrogen production is the future green energy that we can easily move to but it is opposed because it will work!
-
Environmentalist support nuclear power as a part of the shift to a carbon free future. It is unlikely that nuclear production of green hydrogen will be the future though. Far more likely solar and wind energy will be used to generate hydrogen.

3,000 Tcf at 30 Tcf per year… then what?
-
That’s 100 years, Nancy.
-
Yeah, then it’s all gone, but then you need, what, only 15 at best? What the hell do you care?
-
And you. Do you think the clock on technology will be stopped at 2022? But then, ignore my question. I am done with you.
-
I keep forgetting you’re real Navy. They never run out of steak in the officer’s mess. Never been down to 1/2 bottle of rum three days out.
FWIW, not 100 years. “That is, for every cubic foot of natural gas drawn from underground reservoirs, 1.4 percent of it is lost into the atmosphere.Jul 4, 2018”
So, 98.6 years. Hmm, that’s ironic.
There is solar, and the Earth is an emitter of as much energy as radiated to it. It’s a balance thing.
By the way, vaccines are technology and half your party refused them. Luddites. And you want to burn methane. That’s so 1900.
Bye. Of course, if the mashugana in Moscow is as crazy as he seems… But, then you could have always hit ‘cancel’.

You say “Natural gas supports renewables. Do the greens know that?”. Have you read Dominion’s VCEA IRP? For a mere $70 billion NPV-dollars we can do it all with wind, solar, old nukes and a few batteries. They don’t need no stinking gas.
-
Moreover, as gas fired generation is phased out, beginning in 2023, more gas will become available for other uses, until they too are legislated away, including exports. It’s a plan, man.

Unrelated but I appreciate your comments over on the Curry blog.
OK , I will tie it in. This sentence by Judith Curry is what I am trying to say all along:
“Characterization of climate change as an environmental problem has downplayed the cultural and political dimensions of the issue”

Actually Dominion’s plans call for green hydrogen in out years to replace NG for system reliability/renewable energy storage.
-
The VCEA plan — IRP Plan C — says no such thing. Zero hydrogen capacity is added.
-
The only official Dominion plan for VCEA is Plan C in the 2021 IRP submitted to the SCC in Sept. If you have seen it, where is this hydrogen part? If you have not seen it, what the heck are you talking about?
I wish they would throw in green hydrogen because they would have to specify when, how, where, and how much it cost? Hydrolysis capacity, transportation capacity and combustion capacity. Those would be fun numbers!

Read the link. It is the U.S. Energy Information Administration that has said it.

I don’t think EIA uses the term “greens”. My point was the answer is no, they do not know that, at least not in VA.

The Europeans could use the same technology as we do to produce vastly more gas within their own borders, including even the UK, but refuse to because the Greens have a stranglehold on their politics. Yet their wind and solar expansion has not produced enough reliable energy, so the Russian supplies fill the void. France with its nukes is the least vulnerable, and Macron is moving to expand them. Wind and solar, even if there is a realistic amount of storage (cost $1T), will also fail here. The Greens control the Democratic party here, too. Either we keep using gas or our economy strangles.
Virginia’s economy is already hurting because of the death of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, the delay and uncertainty about the MVP, the death of that Virginia Natural Gas project to help Hampton Roads. There is something about a Eastern Shore project mentioned in the Senate budget and the Virginia Mercury is already zeroing in to kill that, I’m sure. The big projects will go where the energy is available. Virginia is now tagged as an anti-energy state.
If you think Congress as now configured or Biden will change direction, Captain, forget it. Federal legislation is a pipe dream.
-
I am not sure you are correct, but even if you prove to be if doesn’t mean we should not get candidates for federal office to commit to a position.
-
Pipe dream? Pipeline dream. Har! Humor!

Not all energy proposals are good. I personally chalk up ACP as a possible blunder by Dominion. Perhaps at 1/2 the scale it *might* have made sense. Blaming enviros may be cover-up.

This is why John Kerry is an idiot… well one reason among many….
“But [the Ukrainian War] could have a profound negative impact on the climate obviously. You have a war and obviously you’re going to have massive emissions consequences to the war.“Thousands being killed and maimed, millions of refugees… and this is his concern. Hopefully his plan to parachute James Taylor and his guitar into Kiev will stop the war.
So glad his on Biden’s team.

The invasion of the Ukraine is a strong reason to rethink the push to get off fossil energy and onto renewables on a timeline that is driven by politics; not technology and economics. All we have to do is look at Europe. It has gone down the renewables road and now is faced with energy scarcity.
Europe’s lack of natural gas is not geological; it is political. The largest gas field in Europe is the Groningen field in the Netherlands. It’s production is being curtailed because of the risks of earthquakes. But, the risk from Putin is greater. There are also gas reserves in the North Sea. The EU can solve its energy problem by reordering its energy priorities and telling Putin to keep his gas and oil.-
Of course the greens argue just the opposite, that the problem here is clearly with gas. They say if there was a lot more wind and solar the EU would not need that Russian gas. Given that the original gas crunch was just due to an overestimation of what the existing wind capacity would produce this is a fairly strong argument.
-
-
Sorry but no idea what the point of your bald link is in relation to what I said. Try saying it.
-
-
Let me clarify my point. A big downside of wind + gas is that you need a huge reserve of gas to handle the unpredictable occurrence of long term low wind. Europe did not have that and got caught, causing the energy crisis.
But it is still true that more wind can reduce gas use. However depending on more wind requires even bigger low wind reserves, which might only be used every decade or so.

He also looks after drunks and fools.
-
Don’t even get me started. The other example of leftist green pressure might be Germany shutting down all of its nuclear power plants prematurely. We are letting eco-extremism weaken our national security and ability to solve problems including war.
Not all energy project proposals are winners, so I am hoping the Atlantic Coast Pipeline died for good reasons. But MVP should probably be allowed to move forward, and may need that western oil pipeline from Canada.

PS- Nat Gas prices are hard to talk about because they quote so many different numbers, and different numbers for different people (homeowners pay the brunt as usual) . Price has spiked up in 2022 but is still relatively low due to fracking.
-
-
Liberals posters here opposed ACP on the basis some of the gas might be exported to other countries. This was said to be a great crime against humanity and Virginia.
-
Funny how the rationale has morphed. When fracking started to expand the argument was domestic supplies, low prices and no exports, all domestic.
Curiously our goal has increasingly become exports as the LNG terminal at the end of the proposed ACP illustrates. Now we are adding national security anti Russian hysteria to justify exports to Europe. Simultaneously we are importing around 1/4B barrels of Russian oil per year and exempting Russian energy from sanctions and SWIFT restrictions.
Cognitive dissonance anyone?
