The Times Leader has an interesting article on a new study done by researchers at Wilkes University on the greenhouse gas footprint of natural gas: "'The main message is that seven independent studies now agree that shale gas has a lower greenhouse footprint than coal. That conclusion largely contradicts the findings by a team of researchers at Cornell who published a paper last April that argued shale gas has a higher footprint than coal due to inadvertent releases of methane at gas wells,' [Professor] Klemow said."
Seven? Nice.
