Gavin Newsom has found a new "problem" to tackle:

As part of a subnational climate coalition, the state is moving forward with a satellite data project to track methane emissions. In his first action since being named co-chair of the subnational climate coalition America Is All In, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a state effort to cut methane pollution with the help of satellite technology. The technology involves satellite-mounted methane sensors that send data to enable the state to locate and monitor large emissions of methane that could otherwise go undetected. This data will allow state and local agencies to work together with industry to stop the leaks. “Decades of progress to protect public health is on the line as the Trump Administration works to roll back critical environmental protections. California isn’t having it,” Newsom said. “Thanks to our state investment, we’re using satellite technology to detect methane leaks as they happen. With this new data, we’ll be able to move faster to cut harmful methane pollution—protecting Californians and the clean air we’ve fought so hard for.”

How now, smelly cow...
