5. It killed more people than Fukushima.

Near here we had a woman killed in her home by a similar event a few weeks back, with 50 homes leveled.

It's pretty amazing that since natural gas has killed more people than Fukushima's radiation, no one ever talks about banning dangerous natural gas.

What's even more amazing is that air pollution is killing seven million people each year, but people burn gas, oil and coal to complain about Fukushima.

Let's be clear, though. Without access to dangerous natural gas, the so called "renewable energy" industry wouldn't function for a New York second.

So that makes gas clean and great.
