The best part is that their previous sand dune was removed by storms and high tides in 2022, so their solution was to build another sand dune, which took a year, and was immediately removed by storms and high tides.
You can’t make this shit up.

Upvotes say otherwise, sunshine. Keep fighting the good astroturfing fight tho!
Cool so your point was to give a history lesson on the origins of the original naming convention behind the mining and burning of methane, and disparage my point that it still being called natural gas in intentionally misleading, while also not actually disagreeing with it or bringing any sort of evidence to the contrary?
So you just wanted to…look pompous? Gaslight? Distract from the fact that burning methane is just as bad if not worse than drilling for and burning crude oil based fossil fuels for the environment? Point out that it’s all fine because it was originally used for lighting?
Okay then. Thanks for your contribution to society I guess. Go tell the bees in your safe space how you did your good deed for the day by defending the fossil fuel industry!
If you think that “Clean Burning Natural Gas” hadn’t deliberately been kept in the advertising vernacular intentionally to avoid negative connotations, I have a bridge to sell you.
For those that don’t know natural gas is a think tank tested way to brand methane. Natural gas is methane. They are the same thing. When you hear natural gas think “methane” because that is what natural gas is. For some reason “natural” makes you think it’s a perfectly fine and good thing, but that’s just good ol’ propaganda that you believed because you didn’t know any better.
Petroleum is also “natural”. It forms naturally, in nature, all by itself, and it combusts if you light it on fire. It’s so natural we can’t make it ourselves that’s why we drill wells several miles down and then inject compressed fluids at insane pressure to fracture the rock formations that natural petroleum is trapped in.
The problem is that methane is significantly worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas, and if you burn methane, it breaks down into CO2. So when you hear “Clean burning natural gas” you are being spoon fed bullshit. It’s not clean burning, it’s lighting methane on fire to produce the same greenhouse gas they want you to think they’re cutting down on.
Not that long ago, I got downvoted to hell (by shills) for pointing out that oil companies latched on to the term “natural” and paired it with “clean burning” and then deliberately obfuscated the fact that natural gas is methane. There is nothing clean about it, it is burning methane.
So for anyone that doesn’t know, natural gas is methane and oil companies have ALWAYS known it’s terrible to burn and worse to drill for because it leaks directly to the atmosphere where it’s significantly worse than CO2.
