We've noted before the views of ProPublica on natural gas drilling (see here). Well, they're at it again in a new article seeking to challenge the environmental benefits of natural gas in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. It does point out the threat to small producers, however: "In November the EPA announced new greenhouse gas reporting rules for the oil and gas industry. For the first time under the Clean Air Act, the nation’s guiding air quality law, thousands of small facilities will have to be counted in the pollution reporting inventory, a change that might also lead to higher measurements." After they're counted, can regulation be far away?
