Summary: Trisha Curtis, the president and CEO of PetroNerds, says it’s time to stop fighting and start producing. “In the U.S., we need more energy, so it’s really about building more power generation capacity,” she said. “Then you can argue politically about what you’re going to fuel it with. Coal and natural gas are energy-dense, reliable baseload power sources that are not intermittent,” she said. Curtis said that the United States has “more than enough” natural gas, noting the challenge there is in building the infrastructure to move the gas to power plants. Coal, too, has to be part of the domestic energy strategy. “Stop decommissioning coal,” she said. “You dig it out of the ground, put it next to a power plant, and use it when you need it. Wind and solar aren’t going to cut it — there’s not a lot of power density.” Read the original article here.
