"In general about 3% of the U.S. gas produced goes wasted into the air, compared to the Environmental Protection Agency figures of 1%, the study found.
Half of these #methane #emissions are coming from a tiny number of oil and gas sites, 1% or less."
So: US fossil gas is at least as dirty as coal, and
Getting rid of leaks at 1% of the sites gets rid of HALF of methane emissions.
