California’s 1,200 Tons Methane a Day Leak
California is facing the largest natural gas leak ever recorded. The leak has displaced over 2,000 families in Porter Ranch, a neighborhood about 25 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. It’s caused evacuations and forced two schools to close. And it’s been going on for two months.

Methane emission affecting Climate Change will certainly disrupt nation building and community development – not only in Porter Ranch, but everywhere. Authorities need to STOP THE LEAK !! TFS, Rosaliene.

Leonard, the company is working to stop the leak. Here’s an excerpt from the latest news from Democracy Now:
“SoCalGas says it could take two to three months to stop the breach. California Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in the area last week. On Wednesday, California Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer asked federal officials to investigate the leak and see if there’s a faster way to contain it. The Los Angeles city attorney and Los Angeles County have filed a lawsuit against SoCalGas.”
