John Schwartz of The New York Times writes about carbon-free natural gas.
- Even as the world builds out more renewable energy the grid will still need dispatchable energy sources that can produce power on demand.

“That’s where fans of NET Power say the company can make a difference: its technology burns natural gas without causing the biggest problems fossil fuels typically do.
