I think this is overall a positive and good approach to control climate change. 1. It targets methane which has a huge short term effect on global warming vs CO2 2. It doesn't blame or target consumers with high annoyance, low value solutions like paper straws. 3. It reduces waste. We shouldn't be wasting natural gas, it's a valuable resource, and it may be economically viable to use even minor resource pockets in the future. 4. Companies shouldn't be able to freely pollute, including long term flaring, if it's so simple to cap these things. 5. This is something that's actually measurable and trackable. Analysts can identify the top 100,000 sites and governments and NGOs can go down the list to close / capture them and also show progress publically.
