This was their reaction to a statement made by House Energy Committee Chair and Pampanga Second District Rep. Juan Miguel 'Mikey' Arroyo expressing that liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the cleanest fossil fuel and a good stop-gap to immediately address the need for reducing emissions given the climate change imperatives.
