Is natural gas clean burning ? NO |
 |
Combustion
by-product includes CO NOx SO
CO2 and acidic water CO: Carbon monoxide NOx: Nitrogen oxides: nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide SO: Sulfur oxide CO2: Carbon dioxide These respiratory poisons are puffing out of every vent stack across the globe, and directly into your breathing air. Stop believing promotional hype. Purpose of saying 'clean burning natural gas' is promotional BS from natural gas producers. They know natural gas releases less by-product than burning coal, but gas is not clean-burning. Producers want to maintain political privilege to frack the rock to produce gas, and the population needs to heat homes and cook food. Natural gas is better than freezing in winter or burning down all the forests. For that reason, I do not see protests and political furvor over 4" gas pipelines that are run into neighborhoods, nor a pack of news trucks and protest signs when someone carries a new gas appliances into a home.

Gas appliances release
about 40% of energy up the flue pipe. There are more gas water heaters than electric water heaters. 2012 energy standard for typical 40 gallon gas water heater was 59%. Water heaters manufactured after April 2015; the 40 gallon heater efficiency improved to 62%. No matter the slightly higher efficiency, every gas appliance vent stack is puffing out toxic byproduct 24 hours a day. And no living thing that is known can survive on the toxic materials. |

Symptoms
of improper gas appliance venting Symptoms of improper gas appliance venting include soot on top of water heater, loose vent pipes, holes and white condensate on pipes, frequent pilot outage, headaches that go away after leaving house and lethargic people.... Remove affected people from house and lay on side... do not lay on back. Call for emergency help. Have plumber fix vent pipe.

Coal-fired
power plant Coal does NOT burn cleaner than natural gas This is the basis on which 'clean-burning natural gas' is promoted Other factors must be considered - With power plant electric, toxic emissions are located at each power plant and not spread across millions of individual homes and businesses where poisons are pumping out every vent stack. - Remediation of toxic gases at power plant will be less intrusive to individual voters who will probably reject remediation at their home -Coal mining might use less fuel to mine and transport - while natural gas must be refined Resource: How the electric grid works Connect AC electric water heater directly to solar panels/ high voltage DC Connect AC electric water heater to solar panels/ low voltage DC |
| Corona discharge: Transmission of electricity can release toxic by-product similar to burning fossil fuel ... "Corona discharges generate ozone (O3). nitric oxide (NO), and in turn nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and thus nitric acid (HNO3) if water vapor is present. These gases are corrosive and toxic to people." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_discharge |
