Apart from US geology being completely different to the UK, the CEO of a fracking company saying the UK is completely unsuited to shale gas fracking, anything we do produce being sold on the global market with no impact on prices, Richard Stupid Tice is absolutely spot on.

Mehr US-LNG hieße also wohl: LNG insgesamt ausweiten, weniger Pipelinegas zB aus Norwegen. LNG ist durch Energieeinsatz und Leckagen aber klimaschädlicher.

Auch, weil das Gas aus den USA idR Fracking-Gas ist.

Nur konsequent: ein Klimawandelleugner und Öl- und Fracking-Unternehmer wird US-Energieminister.
Öl- und Gasmanager Wright soll US-Energieminister werden
Er leugnet den Klimawandel und setzt vor allem auf Öl und Gas: Der Konzernchef Chris Wright soll Energieminister der USA werden. Für Aufsehen sorgte er zuletzt mit einem Video: Er trank Fracking-Flüss...

Nicht nur für die europäische Selbstachtung, sondern auch für das Klima weltweit ist dieser Deal eine Katastrophe.

Denn US-Fracking-Gas ist fürs Klima sogar schlechter als Braunkohle und drei- bis viermal schädlicher als europäisches Gas, etwa aus Norwegen.

Europa kapituliert vor Trump - und Ursula von der Leyen verrät ihre eigene Wirtschaftsstrategie: Der European Green Deal sollte uns unabhängig machen von teuer importierter fossiler Energie.

Nun will die EU 750 Mrd. Dollar in drei Jahren für US-(Fracking-)Gas, Öl, Kohle und Uran verschwenden.

Methane from US oil and gas infrastructure causes more climate change than the entire US buildings and agriculture sectors. It has surged since ~2007 when the fracking boom began. Nations who are considering importing US natural gas should think carefully about its underestimated climate impacts.
New paper. I wish this wasn't the case, but most progress on reducing US greenhouse gas emissions is likely spurious. Why? EPA underestimates methane emissions from oil and gas. Relevant today as Repubs vote to gut IRA's methane monitoring/mitigation program. 🧵

Das durch deutlich teureres amerikanisches Fracking-Gas zu ersetzen, würde etwa 21 Mrd. kosten.

Die EU kauft bereits für 22 Mrd. US-Gas – macht also insgesamt 43 Mrd., weit weniger als die von Trump geforderten und von der Leyen versprochenen 250 Mrd.

Farage wants to frack Britain - like Liz Truss did - and his acolytes are cosying up to the fracking companies:

🧵Coal in the US was mostly dying because of cheap natural gas beginning in the 2000s. Then cheap renewables began to clobber it in the 2010s. It is a filthy power source and horrible emitter of greenhouse gases. There is zero economic justification for this & it will amount to corporate welfare.

Whatever opportunist politicians may try to tell us, increasing availability of gas through opening up the UK to fracking is not going to lower anybody's energy bills
Tying the economics of your country's industrial output to the price of natural gas is a very short sighted move that will likely prove costly.

Pakistan is rapidly moving to solar.

Mexico (and the US) is looking to embrace even more gas.

Look at the UK now.

Sehenswert: Wie Staatsekretär Stefan Rouenhoff vom BMWE
versucht, netzdienliche Kleinspeicher zu verhindern. Weshalb? Damit seine Chefin in Konsequenz mehr Gaskraftwerke bauen kann und mehr Gas (vermutlich US-Fracking-Gas) verbraucht. #GasKathi #Korruption

Why does fracking cause earthquakes, including quakes that rattled B.C.'s northeast — and Alberta — this month? A seismologist explains. #bcpoli VIA @sarahkcox.bsky.social

How earthquakes are caused by fracking, explained | The Narwhal
The point of fracking is to cause tiny earthquakes that fracture rocks and release natural gas or oil. The problem is when quakes get big enough for us to feel

Stattdessen jetzt:
neue Abhängigkeit vom Scheiss US Fracking Gas.

DAFÜR will #FrauReiche also ihre Gaskraftwerke bauen.

Nochmal richtig Gas geben und dann mit VOLLDAMPF weiter in die Klimakrise.

Geschissen auf kommende Generationen.

Given Reform are so 'nimby' about solar and wind turbines it's hard to see how #fracking could succeed in the UK, given how it trashes the landscape. The Tory Gov researched and dropped it. Even Cuadrilla's boss agrees: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
The pic is of fracking in the US.
