EU just decided that gass and nuclear is to be concidered green. I get why nuclear is alright, but since both coal and gass is basically just carbon in different states. Why then is gass better?
In: 10
Natural gas is methane, and when methane is burned it turns into carbon dioxide and water.
Coal is a large variety of big organic molecules that produces a heck of a lot of soot and other waste products in addition to water and carbon dioxide.
Burning methane still has problems, but overall it is much cleaner than coal.
