Here’s a reality check regardless of what we do or do not do the climate is and will continue to change. Mans “Evolution” into the superior conquering being that he is; and all his tech cannot nor will it change this. We have regulated ourselves into a corner.

EPA Office of Research and Development has also been doing work on methane – not from streams, but from reservoirs. It will be interesting to see how our water use choices impact how much methane gets emitted, and what we can do now to mitigate these impacts.
