> oil and gas fields in the US
Somewhat apples and pears comparison, Drax is burning wood pelets shipped from Canada to the UK (CO2 emissions). Oil/Gas Fields in the US emit Methane (CH4 emissions) which has 28x times more 'warming potential' than CO2 emissions.
But I agree that Oil/Gas methane leaks are a much bigger problem than what the media reports.
