We spotted a Reuters story about an activist from Earthworks aiming a $120,000 camera at old oil and gas infrastructure, hoping to spot “fugitive” methane escaping into the atmosphere. As all such nonsense articles do, the article claims that methane is a bazillion times more “potent” than carbon dioxide in causing mythical man-made global warming. The Bidenistas at EPA “empowered” these dunderheads to make wild claims about methane venting by O&G (see Biden EPA Program Empowers Anti Groups to be Methane Snitches). Once a claim is made, the “offender” (O&G company) is assumed guilty until an expensive investigation is done to prove innocence. Here’s the problem: These methane hunters are aiming their expensive cameras at the wrong source.
