An invisible, odorless gas is pitting Texas against the Biden administration
Deep in the heart of Texas, above an oil patch about the size of Kansas, a little team in a small plane is trying to reveal a big problem.
They are methane hunters. With an infrared camera and a Picarro Cavity Ring-Down Laser Spectroscope, they fly spirals over pumps and compressor stations that stretch to both horizons. With each tight corkscrew, the little airplane sniffs out and measures planet-cooking, climate-changing pollution as the region below braces for an energy revolution amid a cold civil war.
The Picarro spectrometer is so sensitive, it caught the number of carbon dioxide molecules in my breath as we walked around the hangar. In the sky, it counts the density of carbon dioxide molecules on their way to heating up the sea, land and sky for the next 300 to 1,000 years. Read original full article

Natural gas leaks is one of plenty consequences of the extraction of fossil fuels. It seems incomprehensible how humanity continues using this source of energy while other much better ones are now a reality. Solar, wind, tidal or geothermal (among others) can provide true clean energy to grant a planet to live in without distroying everything in our path. The problem will remain until the world starts implementing science advice. Lets start taking advantage of true clean energy.
