    That’s the states for actually burned natural gas. Natural gas is basically methane and is therefore not too good for the climate when it leaks (which it does)

        Oil leak is detectable via sight, methane is only detectable via a device, either a sensor or a camera.

        Both is shit for the climate when leak.

          Oil extraction leaks methane in a comparable amount to natural gas. Every local survey points that coal extraction leaks more methane than natural gas, but those numbers are safely suppressed from consolidation into actual studies.
