5.5 tonnes per hour is the amount of methane emitted by a single oil and gas site in the United States — equivalent to running about a million SUVs — according to an analysis that names and shames the worst methane leakers in the world.

5.5 tonnes per hour is the amount of methane emitted by a single oil and gas site in the United States — equivalent to running about a million SUVs — according to an analysis that names and shames the worst methane leakers in the world.
The super-polluting plumes from oil and gas facilities have a colossal heating impact on the climate but often result from poor maintenance and can be simple to fix.
It is "maddening" that such easy action to fight the climate crisis is not being taken. People should be angry.
Stopping the leaks can even be free, given that captured gas can be sold – methane is the "natural gas" that fires power stations.
