Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future is a 501(c)(4) advocacy group launched in August 2020 to promote natural gas as the best solution to support so-called renewable energy and the best solution to lower greenhouse gas emissions. The leftist rag, The Guardian, reported that Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future has budgeted over $10 million for its advocacy efforts. The efforts include convincing younger, liberal, and non-white audiences that natural gas is clean and green. Is it working? Last year, the group recruited former U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu (Democrat from Louisiana) and earlier this year recruited former Congressman Tim Ryan (Democrat from Ohio) to sit on the group’s “leadership council.” Natural Allies has just recruited two more Democrats as reps–former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and former Florida Congressman Kendrick Meek (both African Americans). Is this Democrats-for-hire? Or do all four of these people really believe in a future with natural gas energy?
