EPA confirms high Natural Gas leakage rates
The latest EPA study confirms that its original "seminal" study of methane leaks from natural gas use, i.e. "Methane Emissions from the Natural Gas Industry (GRI/EPA 1996) was in error. The GRI/EPA 1996 study was the holy grail. The IPCC used GRI/EPA numbers when it assessed the climate impact of gas.

Climate Benefits of Natural Gas May Be Overstated
The United States is poised to bet its energy future on natural gas as a clean, plentiful fuel that can supplant coal and oil. But new research by the Environmental Protection Agency2014and a growing understanding of the pollution associated with the full 201Clife cycle201D of gas production2014is casting doubt on the assumption that gas offers a quick and easy solution to climate change.
