    Eh… I’ve been in the room while the operators of these plants overviewed infrared cameras which spot methane leaks very clearly. They take those emissions very seriously because in this particular instance - it’s fuel and they are paying for it directly. It’s not like on the production or transport side where leaks are just a fact of life and are overlooked because gasses are less valuable than the liquids.

    The ethics of power production has an obvious gradient. These modern modular on site gas plants are way, way less shitty than most. Not as ethical as renewables but renewables can’t achieve the sudden demand changes. The best would be for the damn nazi chatbot to just not exist.

    edit: nazi fuckboy musk could actually afford the huge batteries necessary for making renewables work in this case. They’re really expensive but he used to fucking champion that shit before he pulled off his mask and put on his armband.
