EDF/Google Methane Satellite Will Ignore 79% of Methane Emissions
Last week, MDN told you about a new methane-sniffing satellite that will be launched in May, paid for and to be managed by the extreme leftwing green group Environmental Defense Fund (see EDF Gets Ready to Launch Satellite to Sniff Out Fugitive Methane). We have new information about the satellite. EDF will use algorithms (from Google) to estimate how much methane is leaking, and Google is using artificial intelligence (AI) to create a global map of oil and gas infrastructure to be sniffed and monitored. In other words, the EDF/Google satellite is going to concentrate solely on 21% of the fugitive methane "problem" and intentionally ignore and disregard the other 79% of fugitive methane emissions that are happening. It is a textbook case of extreme prejudice.
