Effective vs. politically correct climate policy

Whether you think “climate change” is a clear-and-present crisis, a myth, or somewhere in between, there are effective ways to reduce CO2 emissions and their are ineffective ones. As it turns out, switching from coal to natural gas reduces CO2 emissions more effectively than do wind and solar. It ALSO:

• keeps the lights on;
• doesn’t require completely reworking the entire electrical grid at a cost of billions;
• doesn’t require subsidies;
• can happen more quickly than wind, solar, etc. including overseas in Asia where emissions are growing quickly;
• strengthens rather than weakening the US (and New Mexico economies). See below:

Natural gas is responsible for most (61%) of the decline in U.S. electric power carbon dioxide emissions since 2005, which is also the leading driver in total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions reductions. pic.twitter.com/RD4ig9D2x0
