It has been very cold this week in the Northeast. Below 30 degrees every day. I just drove back form D.C. and it is about 19 degrees everywhere north of Delaware. I love the natural gas heating system in my home; great heating for my family and it's clean buring at the power plant.
My concern is that when I first started using natural gas to heat my home in the 80s it was cheap, domestically produced and plentiful. It's still very clean burning, but it is no longer domestically produced in sufficient quantities. The success of natural gas has started to impact its availability.
The question for today is: What is the price of being green? Should we care how our electric power or heat is generated? If low emissions is the main goal should nuclear power be used more? Should solar and wind be "pushed" more to help maximize our domestic natural gas resources? Lets talk about it.
