Energy Organization Backs Natural Gas, Opposes Biden’s ‘Electric Only’
President Joe Biden’s mad dash toward all-electric everything drew resistance from energy companies. Many are perplexed at the level of ignorance coming from the White House towards environmentally-friendly alternatives such as natural gas.
Kathleen Sgamma, president of Western Energy Alliance, told Just the News recently that there are significant issues with electric vehicles.
Not only are there range problems but there are also concerns when it is hot or cold. But this singular commitment to EVs means the administration is “missing an opportunity when it comes to natural gas.”
Sgamma noted that natural gas burns clean and is very efficient when used for buses and delivery vehicles.
According to her organization’s research, the U.S. electrical sector’s switch to natural gas prompted the nation to lower greenhouse gas emissions more than any other country since 2005. And it produces fewer pollutants than “an equal amount of energy” from coal or petroleum products.
Despite these compelling figures, the Biden White House continues on its course for a nation of electric vehicles in the near future.
It blindly ignores that fossil fuels are needed to produce this so-called “clean energy” that EVs utilize. The day may come when renewable sources supply the nation’s energy needs, but that time is in the distant future.
Last year alone, the administration produced a staggering 110 new energy efficiency standards for American industry.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm claimed these oppressive measures pushed the country to the forefront in “the race toward a clean energy future.”
Tim Stewart is the president of the U.S. Oil and Gas Association, but this does not prevent him from currently owning an EV. He told Just the News that the transition away from the internal combustion engine will be “very, very long.”
Away from major cities, the electric infrastructure needed to support hundreds of millions of EVs just isn’t there. Stewart said those who made the switch early on quickly found themselves disillusioned over broken assurances.
He noted there are currently 286 million passenger vehicles on American roads. This compares to only two million EVs, and the country still cannot support this miniscule fraction with reliable charging stations.
