    … Yes?

    Burning natural gas releases CO2 and Methane.

    Methane leaks from nat gas pipes.

    Extracting nat gas via fracking also releases methane and co2 into the atmosphere…

    (as well as many other toxic chemicals into the ground water, and can cause earthquakes and landslides and sinkholes)

    … methane and co2 basically seep out of the ground and isn’t all 100% efficiently captured for refinement… and I’m fairly sure fracking is now the main method of nat gas extraction in the US and Canada.

    Every part of the extraction/production/usage cycle of natural gas releases CO2 and/or Methane, which increase global warming, which increases the chance of wildfires occuring in Cali.

    I thought this was clear when I said:

    Also nat gas is a fossil fuel, electrical power at least has the possibility of being generated by something that doesn’t contribute to the chance of wildfires going up.
