We have a bunch of new methane monitoring satellites, so it is very observable and enforceable.


I agree we can do it. It just has to be done. Aka give the EPA some teeth and require actual monitoring and enforcement rather than a self reported fantasy.


Exactly. Sure we can do it but the better question is are there any incentives to do any of it ?

The fact that there isn't and that we would have to create one through some sort of government policy should be worrying, especially now that we know that enforcement is in general the government asking a branch of industry to self-regulate... and that's exactly what's happening right now with the natural gas industry and its leaks.
