====Fossil fuel switching and mitigation==== <br />
Switching from [[coal]] to [[natural gas]] has advantages in terms of sustainability. For a given unit of energy produced, the [[Life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of energy sources|life-cycle greenhouse-gas emissions]] of natural gas are around 40 times the emissions of wind or nuclear energy but are much less than coal. Burning natural gas produces around half the emissions of coal when used to generate electricity and around two-thirds the emissions of coal when used to produce heat. Natural gas combustion also produces less air pollution than coal. However, natural gas is a potent greenhouse gas in itself, and [[Fugitive gas emissions|leaks during extraction and transportation]] can negate the advantages of switching away from coal. The technology to curb [[methane leaks]] is widely available but it is not always used.</div>FuzzyBot
