    Because burning it (mostly methane) creates/releases greenhouse emissions such as CO2 and N2O.

        Fun fact: ‘natural gas’ is a filthy greenwash corporate psiop.

        Anything can be a gas naturally.

          I understand it as it’s not a byproduct of anything and it exists in this form in the nature

            If you squint hard enough, theoretically any unnatural product could be heated to the point where it is in it’s natural gaseous state.

          Nothing beats organic grain-fed coal.

      And the gas itself leaks allover the distribution network, and is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2.
