Now that Covid is winding down, the panic mongers are trying to pivot back to climate change. The state began its investigation after Bloomberg News contacted the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration about a cloud of invisible gas detected Jan. 21 by Kayrros SAS.
The geoanalytics firm estimates an emissions rate of 105 tons of methane an hour was needed to generate the plume, which stretched more than 90 kilometers (56 miles) across multiple parishes and was the most severe concentration of the powerful greenhouse gas spotted by the Sentinel-5P satellite in the U.S. since October
Since October? Golly.
If the leak that released the gas plume was broken down and compared with cars, it would be equivalent to the annual impact from 1,900 cars.
| Seriously? We are to panic over the methane production equivalent of a single suburban neighbourhood?? |
The release appeared to originate within 7 km (4.3 miles) of a gas pipeline owned by Energy Transfer, LP, Kinder Morgan and Boardwalk Pipelines.
