Natural gas is not a liquid, it’s a gas. When burned it releases half the carbon that coal does and has far less other pollutants (impurities) that coal has. When it leaks yes it does have a bad chain reaction. (And in case anyone enjoy otherwise, yes I think we should have solar, wind and yes nuclear.)

They pipe it in liquid form, LNG.
And more leaks than they report.

In a pipeline it’s in gas form, if shipped (on a big ship) it’s in LNG form. LNG needs very low temps that you aren’t going to get with pipelines.
I guess I misinterpreted when they talk about LNG pipelines.
That isn’t much comfort though, since gas leaks are both more likely and more difficult to contain.
Probably NG pipeline going to a LNG terminal (plant).
