Energy secretary: Natural gas helps battle climate change - for now

Hill: Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said the U.S. natural-gas boom is helping the nation battle climate change despite concerns about leakage of the potent greenhouse gas methane from well sites. His remarks show that although the Obama administration is studying methane questions, Moniz doesnt believe the emissions erode the climate advantage of natural gas compared to carbon-heavy coal it's displacing in power generation. My look at the evidence to date suggests that this in no way eliminates the...

ClimateWire: First of a three-part series. Bob Ackley may be the only person who has driven up and down every single street -- 1,500 miles total -- in Washington, D.C. While Ackley, a plain-speaking New Englander, enjoyed exploring the nation's capital, which he described as "beautiful," this was serious business. He was measuring leaks of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is also the main component of natural gas. Measured in terms of warming the atmosphere, methane is 25 times more potent than carbon...
$100 million worth of natural gas goes up in flames every month in North Dakota

Grist: Amidst an oil and gas drilling boom in North Dakota, a new report suggests that nearly a third of the natural gas thats being sucked out of the ground is being wasted burned on site and flared away. The practice of flaring burning off natural gas instead of capturing and selling it is so rampant in the state that it is clearly visible from space. Reuters reports: Remote well locations, combined with historically low natural gas prices and the extensive time needed to develop pipeline networks,...
