Many climate activists and clean energy enthusiasts warn against the continued use of, and investment in, natural gas infrastructure, insisting it isn’t a substitute for clean energy. However, at this point in the sustainable energy revolution, it would likely be imprudent to develop and build new natural gas infrastructure.
