In 2022, U.S. production grew by 3.6% to a new all-time high of 94.7 billion cubic feet per day.

When burned, that’s 60,000 tons CO2/day.

      yes, this is where the laws come from the president enforces. the president is an enforcer. a president who acts without congress is authoritarian

        Laws like The Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977 which created the department of energy and authorized it to oversee US energy policy and production.

          they can set and enforce efficiency standards, yes. do you think that’s going to fix us emissions?

              What do you think that means? Said another way, what kinds of authorities do you think setting and enforcing national energy policy gives them? (Hint: Dictating efficiencies for equipment and appliances is one of their authorities)

                You know one thing about the department of energy and assume thats the entirety. Funnily, the legislation doesnt mention energy effiency standardization, but it does mention natural gas several times. And nuclear energy, and oil, and coal, and solar, and geothermal energy. Here’s the act if you want to read it https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/95/s826/summary

                  At least I know something. You know nothing and assume everything.
