Political Factoid
The chief component of natural gas
is planet-warming methane, which
is escaping into the atmosphere
in far larger quantities than
previously thought.
As much as 7.9 percent of it is:
- Puffing out from shale gas wells,
- Intentionally vented or flared,
- Seeping from loose pipe fittings
along gas distribution lines.
