The Philippines is heavily investing in natural gas for electricity, with plans for nearly two dozen power stations, making it one of the world's largest buildouts. However, this decision is raising concerns about the impact on the environment, particularly on coral reefs and fishing communities. Critics argue that the country's future energy needs can be met with renewables, and reliance on natural gas will lead to increased costs for Filipinos and other environmental repercussions. The push for natural gas contradicts the global trend towards cheaper and cleaner renewable energy sources, highlighting controversies and potential negative consequences of the Philippine government's energy strategy.
