Natural gas is now the top fuel used to produce electricity in the U.S., having dethroned coal. It's cheap, and when burned cleanly it emits only half the carbon dioxide of coal. But there's a catch: If natural gas gets into the air without being burned, it releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas on its own. So the case for natural gas as a "green" fossil fuel rests on methane leaks being kept to a minimum. The Trump administration is about to make that harder.
