I’m sure the Republicans will do something to stop this, and blame the Democrats
Blame everyone. My brother-in-law works for a refinery. They get beat up in the news and by politicians all the time, but when they need something it always happens - even in California. Which shouldn't surprise - people say they want things like clean air until they discover it means gas prices go up (or they can't drive their car at all) and suddenly they don't care are all.
Exactly the regs Cheato promises the oil companies he will get rid of if they raise $1B for his reelection
What, regulations work?
No way!
Now do
natural gasmethane leaks.The largest controllable methane contributors are livestock and landfills. They need systemic reform, like lab-grown meat or incinerate and capture systems. You can’t stop a cow from farting with legislation.
I agree about the meat and dairy infrastructures. And grain production to, which basically turns diesel fuel into junk-food.
But the leaks from
natural gasmethane delivery, production and use are much easier to stop though, and would help the supposed greenhouse savings from switching to gas over coal.
