EVENT INVITATION
The Natural Gas Gamble: Addressing Our Growing Reliance on Natural Gas

Dear Paul,

The Union of Concerned Scientists invites you to a webinar briefing on the implications of our growing reliance on natural gas for electricity and what you can do about it.

The Natural Gas Gamble: Addressing Our Growing Reliance on Natural Gas
Date: Thursday, April 9
Time: 1:30-2:30 p.m. EDT

Register Today

Electric power producers are turning to natural gas to generate electricity at an unprecedented rate as they retire aging coal plants. While this shift is providing some near-term environmental and economic benefits, a dramatically expanded use of natural gas to generate electricity poses complex risks including persistent price volatility and heat-trapping emissions.

Join UCS energy analysts for a discussion about our new analysis that demonstrates how we can reduce our reliance on natural gas by greatly expanding the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency in our power supply.

Sincerely,
Megan Rising

P.S. Right now, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing limits on global warming emissions from power plants. If you haven't already, urge the EPA to issue a final Clean Power Plan that encourages a shift to truly low-carbon resources, such as wind and solar, and avoids the risks of an overreliance on natural gas.
