4. In their (slight) defense

it is clean...er. You get more usable energy per ton of CO2 released from natural gas than from other carbon fuels.

Though we still need to move to non-CO2-producing energy sources.

I'm still surprised that the morons running the oil companies aren't dumping R&D money into synthetic fuels. Right now, they take large quantities of carbon-based fuels and pump them all over the country to conveniently-located distribution centers (aka gas stations) and homes.

If we developed ways to efficiently-enough make carbon-based fuels from atmospheric CO2, we still need to pump them all over the country to conveniently-located distribution centers and homes.

Instead, the lack of R&D money means we're moving to electricity and battery-based power systems instead of synthetic fuels. Exxon and company have worked their assess off to make themselves obsolete instead of dominating the post-fossil-fuel world.
