I’m all for using methane as a biproduct of sewage or composting, however “natural gas” used to heat homes, generate electricity, or power cars is a misnomer. Natural gas from oil companies for these purposes are just them selling us the methane biproduct of fracking. Solar > natural gas power plants and heat pumps > natural gas heaters.

Unfortunately, most methane used today is contributing to global warming and increasing the profitability of fracking and oil.

It’s akin to how dairy companies get whey as a biproduct when they skim milk and instead of throwing it out, they started selling it for protein powder and as a food additive to increase profits.
