Just had a food for thought type of idea
On the topic of coming up with new energy sources natural gas seems to be one of the most supporte ideas but even that in my mind is like oil. It will eventualy run out and possibly harm the planet even more so why go for it.
Here is why I think that.
From watching thier promotions on it they say it is gas trapped deep in the earth in the rocks etc and from one major poket of it they could extract enough to heat x amount of homes for 10 years before having to move to a new pocket due to it being depleted even though they dont say that They just state that pocket would heat X by X wich obviously means it would be depleted after that.
Well #1 what if the planet actualy needs that gas? What if it is somehow helping to keep the core and other aspects of the deep eath in balance

and even if it doesn't harm the earth it still will eventualy run out leaving us in the same situation as now with oil being in the state of "running out".
For my mind Id assume wind solar and hydro is still the best ways to go
Anyways enough ramblin just my 2 cents about the energy propsals of natural gas.
