“Characterizing natural gas as green energy is regressive and a fallacy,” said Cinnamon Carlarne, the Robert J. Lynn Chair in Law at the Ohio State University. “Natural gas is not green energy. The labelling is a little bit Orwellian.”
signed by DeWine on Friday would change that language to say a state agency “shall” accept a lease that meets certain conditions, instead of saying it “may” do so. In other words, it forces an agency to grant the lease application from oil and gas drillers.
While natural gas produces a smaller carbon footprint than fuels like coal or oil, it produces a much heavier methane footprint, Carlarne said. DeWine’s policy against surface drilling is a positive, but fails to address the climate change or pollution problems with state policies expanding gas drilling.
“It’s so ridiculous,” Waggoner said. “Nothing says I’m ashamed of this bill like sending out the release at 4:48 p.m.”
