gas leaking from this old cracked pipe below. you can see the fumes pouring into the sky. >> i can smell some gas. natural gas. kathy: the massive pipe dating back to 1907 is a major supplier of gas to the city of boston, and when a leak was noticed, to vent it like this. joe kirolyi is president of the gasworkers union. >> you could have an accident. there is plenty of gas out of that pipe. kathy: the leak is just one of the 75,000 reported in massachusetts as of the end of last year. most are concentrated in the boston area. one federal report says ratepayers across the country paid at least $20 billion during an 11-year period for all of the leaking gas. kirolyi gave 5 investigates a tour of a few of the local leaks. >> i can actually smell the gas. kathy: including this one, right outside the boston fire headquarters. >> the temporary repair when they put it on is not holding -- not holding. kathy: an explosion back in 2014 rocked this dorchester neighborhood erupting into a 3 alarm blaze injuring a dozen people. victims are suing national grid claiming repeated calls , reporting an odor of gas were ignored

gas seems to be an accelerant in the demise of coal. >> with that things that i didn't talk about is the threat of natural gas, we know oil and carbon but there is a lot looking at natural gas.that natr natural gas is mostly methane, about 95% methane. turns out that methane is a more potent greenhouse gas. the first 20 years after its emitted and of course the next 10 to 15 years, surely by the next 20 years would need to have a new energy system. so natural gas is actually, when you look at the threat to the global climate, and this is not me speaking, this is scientific cornell, it's actually a bigger threat to the climate in the first 20 years after its emitted since it's 100 times more potent carbon is than the first 20 years. and so we need to get off of natural gas. it's actually a bridge to nowhere and it's a bigger thread to our global climate. you know what upsets me so much as the idea that we were have another 40 years of this infrastructure.. the banks are literally investing in learning billions of dollars to build all of this infrastructure that's going to last for decades. that's why we know it's not a bridge fuel. this is just an excuse and a way to buy people into it. we can to

gas, oil, accelerating the demise of coal. >> yes, but one thing i didn't talk about is the threat that natural gas -- we know oil is a threat because of carbon but there's a lot of recent science looking at natural gas, and natural gas is mostly methane. 95% methane. it turns out that methane is a more potent greenhouse gas, the first 20 years after it's emitted, and of course the next 10 to 15 years surely by the next 20 years, we need to have a new energy system. so, natural gas is actually -- when you look at the threat to the global climate -- this is not me speaking. this is scientist at cornell good elsewhere -- actually a bigger threat to the climate in the first 20 years after it is emitted sin it's 100 times more potent than carbon is in the first 20 years. so we need to get off of natural gas. it's a bridge to nowhere, and a -- it's a bigger threat to our global climate, and you know what upsets me so much is the idea we would be billing another 40 years of this infrastructure. the banks are literally investing and learning billions of dollars to build all of this infrastructure that will last for decades. that's why we know it's not a bridge fuel. this is just an excuse and a way to try t

away to actually incentivize natural gas and smaller natural gas plants and more recently in 2005, we have seen other rules change to incentivize fracking and natural gas. under the bush administration in 2005 the energy bill was passed it has three benefits for the oil and gas industry. one most most of you are familiar with, the hell burton loophole which exempted the from the state's drinking act and the other two are less well-known. one is the repeal of the bill i talked about, the republican utility holding company act of 1935. that was repealed and its repeal means utilities could get is because they wanted, they could engage in any kind of activity including the trading and the speculation on the stock market that was for bidden before. in fact natural gas wasn't even really traded before the 1990s. today we now have 20 giant utilities that operate in this country and provide more than 50% of power, they use the all of the above strategy and they are encouraging fracking and really a party to it. the other thing that changed in the energy policy act of 2005, do not have the name quite right before is that it gave the federal energy regulatory c

gas. most gas travels through pipeline. that makes it difficult if the u.s. wants to sell its gas to, say, korea. ing natural gas possible. gas, is cooling natural converting it to a liquid, then reducing the volume by about six hundred times. it is like going from a beach ball to a ping-pong ball. this makes it possible to transport gas on really big ships, which leads us to a fleet of $250 million tankers, some the size of four american football fields, that can carry lng all over the world. the problem is these ships are too big to fit through the panama canal. until now. canalillion panama expansion project was finally finished in june 2016, allowing for faster shipping of lng to key markets like asia. so what does this mean for global energy? a growing number of countries are trading in lng. here is the argument. overall demand for lng depends on how fast countries will turn away from coal, the largest source of power generation in the world. that itelling point is is cleaner, producing half as much carbon dioxide as coal oil companies are pushing into the lng to embrace a clean your future.

natural gas, very interesting, the groups like the sierra club used to be pro natural gas to recognize the incredible benefits of natural gas, very much in favor of natural gas until the fracking revolution. they were not against fracking per se. it was the mass production of natural gas so the price of natural gas fell dramatically and we had a super abundance of natural gas and they were against it. i think it is because they are against industrialization. want to smoke out the economy and pay penance. this shows we are energy-efficient economy. the left talks about making america more energy efficient, it is natural progress, we have produced more goods and services with less energy. we don't need the government to tell us that were to mandate it. it is the course of history. this is methane, one of the charges the left is making, methane emissions are out of control. we have to stop fracking. methane emissions have fallen as we have used more natural gas. this is another important point. and a free-market, most americans don't understand. barack obama doesn't costanza this. if you look at what barack obama was saying in
