I want to sell power to Texas, because we can. Well let’s see, they want to do a million roofs by 2016 and they’re up to 70,000 now. That’s pretty mean to the rest of the grid. Don’t you want to share? Don’t you want to pump some green power into some dirty places? Oh I do, I do. There’s no reason we shouldn’t. That’s pitiful.

Low-altitude ozone also plays a role in climate change, as it is a greenhouse gas and the third-largest contributor to human-caused global warming after carbon dioxide and methane. Ethane emissions from other US fields, especially the Eagle Ford in Texas, likely contributed as well, the research team says. Gvakharia, A.
