(P&GJ) - Despite misguided opposition around existing or new natural gas pipeline () projects, this infrastructure is vital to the United States' emerging clean energy future for a reason few climate activists talk much about. Pipelines are critical now and in the future (https://consumerenergyalliance.org/2022/02/building-pipelines-now-for-energy-of-the-future/) for transporting landfill gas (yes, all of our trash) and renewable natural gas, or RNG (https://www.greenbiz.com/article/7-things-know-about-renewable-natural-gas), from agricultural sources (think cattle and pig waste) that can be blended into our energy mix. RNG is increasingly viewed as another promising renewable technology along with wind and solar power that can help reduce emissions while ensuring our grid remains reliable and resilient. Biofuels are expected to moderately increase through 2050, providing a diverse range of energy including the eventual use of blue and green hydrogen (https://consumerenergyalliance.org/2022/01/hydrogen-energy-and-how-its-looking-to-become-a-mainstream-fuel-alternative-energy-explorer/) in our future electricity mix.
