      "ok, yeah, but it's Turkmenistan. what can we do about them?" the US's oil & gas infrastructure had the second worst record for methane leaks. and gas fields planned for development are projected to leak the equivalent of a billion tons of CO2. theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/06/revealed-1000-super-emitting-methane-leaks-risk-triggering-climate-tipping-points
