Based on this winter, they need to "leak" a hell of a lot more methane !

But the study does conclude that switching from coal-fired power plants — the nation’s largest source of carbon pollution — to natural gas-fired power plants will still lower planet-warming emissions over all.
I enjoy how they word things to make them appear worse. When referring to coal its "carbon pollution", couldn't they say carbon dioxide? Then they refer to methane pollution as "emissions".. emissions? really??! Its no wonder how society gets twisted views on things by reading publications like this. And this is one tiny small example of many... Natural gas only has "emissions" :lol: .. How gay...

:roll: :mad:
