It doesn't matter much how we use it, I think it's the most dangerous fuel there is because people believe it's better than coal or that it's some kind of transition fuel for some glorious renewable energy powered future that's never going to happen.

If we had any sense we'd leave all fossil fuels in the ground.

Burning fossil fuels to create some sort of Orwellian "Big Brother" is, of course, madness.
