They will just convert to gas and everything will be ok. Well at least until the environmental nuts gin up a new study that says the NG is bad and then they will work to get the NG plants shut down. It is all a scam to destroy the economic might and freedom of the US. This is all about control and money for the environmentalists.
Current supplies of NG rely on fracking. The Enviros have been rabidly trying to discredit that process and get it halted as well, and if a moratorium is declared, the price of NG will skyrocket, along with any spin-offs from home heating fuel to electricity to chemical feedstocks. Having all our eggs in one basket makes us far less secure.

It has been since Greenpeace got seed money from the KGB during the Cold War, and that is precisely the goal. It has been wildly effective, as so much of the movement of manufacturing jobs overseas and south was motivated by the expense of moving-target environmental regulations.

Actually, it is about the destruction of America, although they are extorting some significant money in the process. The enviros have gone from Conservationists to rabid dirt-worshiping attack dogs with no sense of scientific reality.
