Seems like something easy to prove one way or another

So natural gas powerplants with sufficient exhaust scrubbers are having a substantial effect on atmospheric pollutants? I feel like we keep getting off of the main question here. Like to stoves and lighters and such. I get nothing burns perfectly clean but seems like just an engineering hurtle to me. With natural gas I'm typically more concerned about the hydro fracking aspect. There's really not a solution to groundwater contamination in fracking beyond them saying it didn't happen.

I think it's just a joke about slang aka D for Dick.

If it's none of the above could be a marriage / immigration thing. Met a dude once who had married like six times. Would find needy women with money, woo them, divorce them and then collect.

I mean yeah but is it burning in such a way it's actually impacting people's wellbeing? Is it creating that much atmospheric pollution even with waste fume scrubbers? I cook with natural gas and it doesn't leave soot. I'm not sure where you are but anywhere I've been lighters use butane and not natural gas. I'm not trying to be a jerk, just trying to get an accurate picture of the situation.

Would be cool if we were like unknowingly long life friends or family members. Would make that comment really funny. Anyways, odds are I don't know you irl.

I mean yeah if you displace air (nitrogen and oxygen) with anything you're going to have a bad time, but I didn't think natural gas plants were straight up leaking valuable natural gas everywhere like a home stove or gas heater can. The black soot is interesting, must mean the natural gas source was tainted because as far as I know pure natural gas burns totally clean. Just to check, we were speaking about natural gas plants for energy generation right?

Not to say I dislike justice but I'm a hippie, the one people one love, unconditional love, hope, and forgiveness as best I can manage type. I get where you're coming from, I wasn't always this way, used to be a pretty angry fellow. For me I'm more so sad to see minds and hearts that are so deep into ignorance that they cause needless and avoidable suffering to themselves and others. I like to see minds become aware because they stop causing needless and avoidable suffering. Of course that process of becoming aware can be quite hellish at times, which is why most don't bother. To me if it can be managed it's the ultimate punishment because on the other side you get a person who wants to decrease needless and avoidable suffering.

Not arguing but just curious. I didn't think natural gas plants heavily affected air quality. I'm aware that fracking has its share of issues, notably ground water contamination. I always thought coal plants were the ones with emissions issues.
