A new study analyzed 1,168,194 sentences within 1,706 academic reports from 26 university energy research centers, three of which got their funding primarily from the natural gas industry. The study found that the three university energy research centers that were funded primarily by fossil fuel interests were more favorable to natural gas in their work than they were to renewable energy, while the effect was reversed at the centers that were less reliant on funding from fossil fuel interests
