power generation has come a long way but specially in the North America the story isn't as good, while we've made progress the amount of methane produced by our natural gas wells is not only frightening but difficult to track due to lack of accountability.

it's my opinion if we want the sort of radical greenhouse gas reduction required to stave off the worst of climate change then we need three things:

1. an aggressive plan to phase out coal and natural gas
2. embrace public transportation and bikes
3. drastically reduce the amount of red meat we eat

I do believe it's possible I'm just also think it's really difficult to get political will for those sort of things.
