The Biden plan borrows the Green New Deal's ambitious goal of a "Carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035." Burning natural gas-methane-inevitably emits carbon, so the Biden plan requires eliminating natural gas for electricity generation by 2035.
Biden promises to achieve his clean energy goals by fiat, issuing executive orders of "Unprecedented reach that go well beyond the Obama-Biden Administration platform." A Biden administration would move to achieve its goal of "Carbon-free" electricity generation through an even more aggressive version of President Obama's "Clean Power Plan" regulations.
2035 is the target date to be done with fossil fuels, including natural gas.
So if we pair up what Biden said last week with his own published energy plan, he's telling the country that it's okay to keep fracking for natural gas, but nobody will be allowed to burn it? Was Biden having another "Senior moment" here or does he honestly believe that this idea could work?
One-third of the massive volume of natural gas that America produces each year goes to generating electricity.
There is no viable plan to replace all of the electricity generated in this fashion, so idling the natural gas plants would effectively starve the energy grid.
Further, much of the rest of the natural gas we produce is piped into homes and businesses across the nation to power stoves, furnaces and other appliances.
