Re: Guns don't kill, bullets do
How practical is it to do that though?
Thinking that the gas from a well isn't pure CH4, so can't just be fed straight into the gas network. Assuming there was a network connection. If not, the extraction site would need filtration, compression and cryo handling to produce LNG that could be transported by road or rail.
Or whether you can simply run the 'raw' gas into a turbine and generate electricity without burgering up the jet. It's one of those interesting subjects given idiotic demands to punish the oil & gas industry, which produces a huge variety of stuff we rely on.
There are also regulatory hurdles. Apparently one reason the Texas power outage last year was so bad was policy failure. Wind dropped, electricity demand was high due to weather. No electricity, no power to the gas network, so gas couldn't be pumped. Previously operators could tap gas to run generators at pumping stations, but 'Green' regulations stopped that practice and so Texas's grid came very close to collapse.
