Do you want to burn new carbon that’s in the ground, or recycle what’s already in the air?

We have tremendous infrastructure already dedicated to using natural gas (cooking, heating, transport, industrial equipment) and it won’t be electrified overnight.

First get to carbon neutral, then worry about carbon negative.
