Yes, I know it’s not technically just methane, but methane is its primary constituent.

“Fossil gas” is also probably a suitable term, but I like “fossil methane” because it gets that spooky chemical name benefit.

    And it’s already considered a fossil fuel (mostly).

    It’s a hell of a lot cleaner than coal. Cheaper than electricity for heating. Extraction is relatively simple and clean. And the entire industry produces less pollution worldwide than fucking COWS.

    I’m all for electric everything, but unless your power supply is 100% renewable or nuclear, it’s pointless to get all electric appliances.
