You really need to stop looking to oilprice articles for "real analysis."  The guy is not even based in the USA.

You are on record of loving coal. 

You now accept coal is "dirtier?"  

Please explain "dirtier".  Both pollute, in different ways.

It looks like Trump's plans for increased oil and gas output will actually mean a massive reduction in global CO2 levels.

However, I doubt that Trump is motivated by this objective, and understandably so. 

But it keeps the anti-CO2 agitators happy.

"A second Trump administration's focus on increasing US natural gas production and exports could lead to a decrease in global CO2 emissions.

US natural gas exports can displace coal and other dirtier energy sources, particularly in developing nations.

Trump's energy plan includes faster permitting for pipelines and LNG terminals, facilitating the export of US natural gas to meet global energy needs."

"...when Trump fulfills his campaign promises to increase U.S. oil and gas production and removes President Biden’s pause on new liquid natural gas exports, global emissions will likely decline rather than rise.

This is because exports of U.S. natural gas generally displace coal, reducing global CO2 emissions. Even Germany, Europe’s largest manufacturer, is using lignite coal (rather than the less-polluting bituminous coal) to deal with shortages of renewables now that it has closed its nuclear power plants and Russian gas is no longer available.

About 3 billion people in emerging economies lack electricity and running water, and cook over wood and dung. Natural gas power plants would reduce particulates from wood and dung and make the air cleaner. "

It is the latter emissions from indoor fuels which are responsible for most of the health problems  emerging from energy resources, which would also decline drastically when transitioned into natural gas.

I have linked science articles here which were written by European scientists...I guess they are not real scientists?

Or maybe you are not a real scientist.

Anywhere between 5% and 10% of the coal (by mass) you toss into a firebox is "real estate" that doesn't burn. It's called ash. 

What ash does NG leave in the firebox?

Golf carts use lead-acid, too.

People who live in low traffic zone e.g. outskirt europe, or retiree town, have purchased golf carts to move about for daily routine. Few thousand a cart? Buying a fleet of 10 together with neighbours would have 50% discount each, ~$2500.

At some tourist spots, chain of moderate long cart would be available e.g. big zoo, big resort. Shall it is used as public transport, would not be bad too. Press of a button at the cart stop, signal that someone needs a ride would be transmitted. Like traffic light at busy street. Relatively cost effective and efficient.

1. Owing to the final finishing , including the interior, might be largely a layer of cow dung, they probably need to burn wood inside to dry it, remove malodour, and probably avoid strong wind and heat outside. They probably do not have door to air the interior.

2. According to a foodie vlogger, popular street meat sticks in XinJiang are barbecued using cow dung. All taste of meat have been masked by the smell of dung. Truely, uuhhh..... What do you call? '-'

Some might have learnt how to ferment cow dung to get natural gas.

Others might have been introduced simple gas stove. Owing to the location which is usually isolated, supply of gas and gas stove might be a challenge.

 

Shall they are in hot weather zone, concentrated sunlight might be able to help. The concept is when sunlight passes through a small glass magnifier, heat intensified and would burn dried leave below the glass instantly. Shall the degree of heat can be controlled by widening the area of light spread, they might use it for boiling water, cooking etc with adjustment?
