About this episode

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on the sheer quantity of drivel we're bring bombarded with about gas, (such as the world needing more affordable energy (read: gas); or how gas is part of a pragmatic approach to the energy transition; or using the words "low-carbon" in the context of energy systems); and how in reality, it's all deliberate propaganda orchestrated by dark organizations such as the "International Gas Union". Their global playbook of deception to lock-in fossil gas (and make a couple of bucks while setting fire to the world) has been exposed through their own incompetence: it was available on the International Gas Union's own website, by mistake, until the documents were removed six months later.
