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. EPA's Region 6 headquarters in Dallas, Texas, issued a news release about a new enforcement effort in the Permian Basin on Monday, saying the flights would occur within the next two weeks.The announcement came four days after The Associated Press published an investigation that showed 533 oil and gas facilities in the region are emitting excessive amounts of methane and named the companies most responsible. Colorless and odorless, methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps 83 times more heat in the atmosphere over a 20 year period than an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide.

When are these frauds going to get a brain?
Wonder how hard they will cry next winter when it is cold in DC?
They simply cannot stand it that Texas has oil and gas and they MUST Stop everyone from using it.
This is still more #ComDem_Insanity.
Well, they want to get rid of cattle, too. Of course, most (non-oil-related) methane is produced by bugs and bacteria. Termites digesting cellulose make lots more methane than all the farting cows.

It's TIME to DownSize DC!
Restore the Constitution!Size DC!
You beat me to it, I should have read the entire comments first.
Amen........
And yet, there is no counterattack in this war.
Gasoline and diesel sales to New York, Massachusetts, California and Oregon should be ceased. They want no gasoline, let them have no gasoline
War is for winning, not watching
Make no mistake, these people are just BEGGING for a war. I can promise you the people in the oil industry are fed up with these mfers. They keep pushing and eventually the shit WILL hit the fan.
When one considers that methane is the major component in farts, the meters would peg maximum if they flew it over Washington, DC.
OK, someone enlighten me. How are they going to take samples of a free-floating gas in a helicopter with rotating fan blades? How does that work?
As the public catches on to the BS claims about CO2, the WEF/Deep State simply invents a new threat to human life. Aided and abetted by their sycophants in the media, of course.
They have laser systems that can can tell the difference in the air from 20,000 feet up. Spectrometer sensing.
I would never admit to emitting methane, but wear your boots when you visit because the b.s. is gonna pile up fast and high.
🤠
And, they’re that sensitive? I’m a little skeptical.
It’d be a real shame, just utterly tragic, IF one of these things happened to just fall outta the sky and nobody gave a good shite....just sayin’.
As long as they didn’t fall on a wellhead.
Since it’s the fed gov, the “offenders” are guilty until proven innocent, so it will be a “jobs program” for high priced attorneys.
LMAO! Do I need to be scared?
I think I probably need to be scared. 😂😄🤣
Nothing the #ComDem’s says is ever true. In fact the word “true” does not exist for them.
They simply make up some crazy idea and ram it down everyone’s throat.
I’m sure they have some gadget that they say works. But that is unimportant to them. It is all about the agenda.
In this case, crapping on the oil producing sates.
I thought they usually burnt off the methane anyway? Is there a reason they would have stopped doing that?
The main reason that they flare a well is when they have completed the well and it is on flowback and there is no pipeline available yet. Sometimes, it is a long ways off or the gas has nasties in it(excessive carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulphide). Most of the time, there is a pipeline nearby and they will ultimately hook it up.
