Methane reduction is an economic driver right under Wyoming’s nose

Wasted energy is wasted opportunity. Methane, the primary component of natural gas, is leaking into the atmosphere at an alarming rate—costing the U.S. economy billions while accelerating climate change. But solutions aren’t just necessary; they’re creating jobs. Wyoming is emerging as a leader in methane mitigation, with a 46% growth in industry jobs since 2021. Strong regulations and smart investments are fueling this expansion, proving that cutting pollution and boosting the economy go hand in hand. The challenge now? Ensuring that progress isn’t undone.

If it can be done in Wyoming, surely it’s possible in North Dakota, no? 😉

Curio : A new type of content. It's not "news" and it's not "commentary," it may not even be about Minot. But whatever it is, Minot may need it or you may enjoy it!
