I keep getting ads saying things like “landfills produce more methane pollutants than 56000 cars” or “tell Congress to fix this one methane leak.” I also hear people bring up farming cows as a counter-arguement for any climate action (but not as a “let’s fix this” type arguement sadly). So my thinking is why aren’t people trying to harvest methane and use it for something? Is it inefficient? Are they stupid?


afaik it’s used as fuel a lot, natural gas stuff like LNG and CNG
