    One of the big changes is in fugitive emmissions (basically leaky natural gas pipes), we found that fugitive emmissions were much (2-3x in north america) greater than expected, making natural gas as bad as coal in some scenarios. Turns out having o&g self report with no oversight leads to them underestimating their numbers.

      Fixing leaking water pipes would be surprisingly effective too. We are already spending money and energy to purify and pump the water, so why not make use of it. Currently, we’re spending way too much energy on watering the trees growing next to big pipelines.
