continued: while methane is considered a "potent" green house gass burning it reduces it to mostly just Co2 and water. (CH4 to C02+ 4 H20) witch is less of a green house gass when compared to methane. I ran out of time for this but I'd incurage some one to look into the percent contribution to the over all contributors. I belive it will be verry low on the global scale. a much more impact full move would be to bring manufacturing here where we can regulate waste and pollution and install air scrubbers insted of manufacturing in an unregulated country.

regardless of what isle you sit on, let's look at just the impact this causes the people. this forces people to rely on electricity, where38 percent of power is generated at gass burning plants... electricity is more expensive and this drives up the demand on our grid if we can't heat and cook with gass putting more hardships on low income earners. there is also a health impact to young and elderly people if they can't afford to heat there houses or cool them in heat waves. not to mention if people lose power it is a great backup so we don't have a repeat of Texas.
