Mothusi Pahl  emphasizes leveraging existing natural gas infrastructure to make energy more economical and reduce dependency on the electrical grid. The conversation also touches on responsible natural gas production and the importance of decarbonizing natural gas to meet commercial and industrial needs. The episode highlights the alignment of this technology with national security, economic benefits, and environmental goals.
