Anything that increases the amount of fossil fuels we can get out of the ground is bad. But, at the same time, natural gas is used for heat in much of America, and skyrocketing natural gas prices would be, like, bad for poor people who sometimes have to choose between bills. It's almost as if this is really freaking complicated. This is the very kind of increase that is terrible news because coal fired power plants have long lives and, once built, they tend to burn at full capacity for decades in order to pay for themselves. An increase in (regulated) fracking in Asia could help with an immediate end to new coal plants in China and India, which is probably the most important short-term goal to help curb the climate crisis.\n
