Only a handful of super emitters are responsible for an enormous amount of the methane pollution in the Permian basin, according to a new study. Methane is a highly potent greenhouse gas — more than 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide over a 20-year time-frame. That’s equivalent to about 5% of the U.S.
