Which means that any greenhouse gas regulation HAS to address methane emissions. In countries (like the US, and Russia) that have natural gas export industries, that’s a problem; unless total leakage is <3% they are worse for the climate than coal.

In theory, the nat gas industry has an economic incentive to minimize leaks (so they can sell more gas). But the sector is rife with split incentives; gov’t subsidization, tolling agreements that aren’t tied to downstream value and the simple fact that some investments don’t pencil out.
