Building a gas pipeline with an adversary to disadvantage your eastern neighbors was likely a bad move.

#5The rise of independent imaging of methane leaks through satellites and overflights has been revelatory. They've shown the numbers industry was reporting and EPA has been using in its GHG estimates have been comically low.
The more they look the more they keep finding. Some areas of the Permian in NM are so bad at 9% leakage rate that their GHG impact is worse than coal .
Industry of course is shocked (shocked!) and says they are on it. But methane monitoring rules during the Obama administration that could have revealed this sooner were rescinded under Trump at their behest. Presumably the same thing will happen with Bidens rules if Trump is reelected.

Yes, it's much better when your eastern neighbours and an adversary hold you a hostage. With the help of your oversea "friend".

#8Cant say much more, but working with a client in Oil and Gas to equip their inspectors with offline tools to map and report equipment. The sense I get from them is aligned with this- big pressure to lock down infrastructure.

#9partnership announced with the Environmental Defense Fund
there are a half-dozen such sensor missions.

MSFT announced a commercial partnership to do the same not long ago.

In the USA, the news of other nations doing the same is not amplified. see GLOC 2023, Global Networking Forum. IAF
Last COP, heresay indicated that there was negotiations going on about how much legal identification of site ownership will be readily available. For example, an offshore drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico leaks badly, but the owner is a contracting company at arms length. What does the map show to the public?

#10I hold my breath with Google doing anything to actually getting and displaying that data.
