Carbon emissions from gas power plants rose 59 percent from 2005 to 2017, but that’s only part of the problem. From oil and gas wellheads to homes and buildings, the leakage of methane, a highly potent greenhouse gas, is far worse and more widespread than previously thought. Nonetheless, the rush to gas continues.
