Study Finds Methane Leaks Negate Benefits of Natural Gas-Powered Vehicles

Lasrick writes "Coral Davenport at the NY Times reports on a study to be published on Friday: '...a surprising new report...concludes that switching buses and trucks from traditional diesel fuel to natural gas could actually harm the planet's climate.' The report apparently documents that the leaks of methane that occur when drilling for natural gas more than make up for the climate change benefits of using natural gas as a transportation fuel. The report will be published Friday in the journal Science."

Explain why some oil companies are trucking in water to ppl who have had their water
wells ruined by fracking fluids.

Are you one of the paid corporate bloggers, or one of the ones for the government that
helped make the Halliburton Loophole ? So they could legally hide 8 of the ingredients
that are toxic sludge that causes cancer and organ failure.

So when it comes to lying plutocrats puppetteering the government regulations
so they can squeeze out a little more profit at the cost of ruining the ENTIRE
north american water table, I find it hilarious that ppl will come on here and
post a shill post when the oil companies have been filmed hauling drinkable
water to ppl because their damn water wells are ruined and even reverse
osmosis filtering won't get the toxic crap out.
