US power generators will likely burn a record amount of natural gas for a second day in a row on Friday , the hottest day so far this summer, as homes and businesses crank up their air conditioners to escape a brutal heatwave blanketing much of the country this week.
Scientists have long warned that climate change, caused by greenhouse gas emissions mainly from burning fossil fuels, will make heat waves more frequent, severe and deadly. They have urged governments to drastically reduce emissions to prevent climate catastrophe. To keep air conditioners humming, Refinitiv forecast power generators would burn about 52.9 billion cubic feet per day of gas on Friday, which would top the current record of 52.3 bcfd on Thursday and recent highs of 50.3 bcfd on July 14 and 49.6 bcfd on July 20, 2022.IT'S HOT EVERYWHERE
