That's how it forms naturally. True. We (humans) raise tons of cows, for example. They all fart, producing more methane (a greenhouse gas) than all the cars in the world. Then we milk them and eat their calves. We do that, not Mother Nature. Here's more information than you ever wanted to know about what comprises "natural gas":

I asked you a valid question: are volcanos renewable or continuous? simple question. What is your reply?
I don't have a complete record of everything John Kerry has ever said. He could easily quote them to illustrate why he disagrees with them. However, since Kerry is not a scientist, I imagine he depends on the majority opinions of scientists. Everything I have heard or read from him tells me that he ascribes to the conclusions of the IPCC. What is your point? Do you think it was okay for Ringo to modify that quote?
Look it up. Pretty easy to find.
You’re confused……You asked the wrong question, again.
Exactly who said volcanoes were renewable ? You brought it up, not me.
you said thermal power was renewable, not me. Do you even understand what the word renewable means? it means you use something up and then more is created. Water is not renewable, hydro from rivers and dams is continuous, not renewable. I know we are nitpicking words, but it's necessary in order to have an intelligent conversation.
A volcano is not mentioned as a renewable even though it’s a break in thermal energy. . It’s no more renewable than a hurricane when compared to wind. ….Obviously, you’re not reading what renewable energy is. Do you need it repeated ?
Yup.This relates active and inactive volcanoes and geothermal energy:
Long story short, active volcanoes ("continuous") are too dangerous to attempt extracting energy from. But less than continuous appears to have proven worth the risk.One benefit of California’s volcanoes? Geothermal energy
Nearly all of California’s geothermal electric power generation comes from areas where eruptions occurred in the past tens of thousands of yearswww.usgs.gov
Yes, let's nitpick. Notice it's "energy" (not "power" or "electric") that modifies "renewable." The sources of that energy may be anything that's continuous or reliably periodic ("naturally replenished") enough for us to use . Obviously, what we use a type of "renewable energy" for is not what it is (other than perhaps geothermal use for direct heating):
For sure. His original comment included volcanos being renewable. I never recalled volcanoes being a renewable energy source. They are outlets for lava, which I’m sure could be a source for energy…..but volcanos ? They are just a hole in the ground….
