Environmental Protection Agency says it will conduct helicopter overflights to look for methane “super emitters” in the nation's largest oil and gas producing region.

They should fly over DC, there is bound to be more methane emitted there than anywhere else.
Exactly!

I’m reminded of some European country that required a pricey permit to use your backyard grill, for each time, and to find scofflaws they were going to fly around in a helicopter with special IR cameras.
I am very concerned about super emitters of methane, of which I am one.
