Don't let the oil companies fool you, there is more natural gas than they know what to do with. It is a by- product of oil drilling and is produced inside the pipelines as well. The oil companies let the gas that is produced in the pipelines go off into the atmosphere rather than recapture it. My husband participated in a study of the health effects on oil workers from this release of natural gas. He had to wear a monitor everytime he visited a ship or worked on refinery property.

I have worked in the oil and gas industry for over 25 years and all I can say is what is the color of the sky in your world? Casing head gas, which is a by-product of oil drilling is collected, gathered and sold to pipelines. There is a small amount of gas that leaks from any pipeline, but to say that represents more natural gas than what we know what to do with is patently absurd.
