The gas industry has spent billions of dollars over decades selling the lie that their product is clean. We know the truth: So called “natural” gas is driving climate change – its total greenhouse gas pollution is worse than coal.
• GAS = METHANE
Methane is a super-polluting greenhouse gas – more than 80 times as potent as carbon dioxide.
• GAS LEAKS
Millions of tons of methane gas escapes from America’s fossil fuel infrastructure every year. Irresponsible drillers deliberately vent it into the air at fracking wells. Companies have failed to maintain millions of miles of decrepit pipelines that cross the country. And gas leaks from gas-powered appliances in our homes and buildings, even when they’re turned off.
• METHANE IS SUPERCHARGING GLOBAL WARMING
Methane pollution is worse now than ever, and fossil fuels such as gas and coal are to blame.
• IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY
Cutting methane pollution from fossil fuels is one of the easiest, cheapest and most effective ways of slowing climate change. But the gas industry – which helped create the climate crisis in the first place – is doing everything it can to block common sense reforms and keep us dependent on their product.
