No consumer asks for methane to be vented to the atmosphere.

Consumers have certain needs/desires (cooking, electricity, etc), but they don't have a need/desire for greenhouse gas emissions.

It may be most cost effective to allow gas leaks while delivering the gas, but that shouldn't be equated to demand leading to gas leaks.



but even cooking with fossil methane release a lot of fossil methane at the consumer home :

But again, no one is asking for a stove that leaks methane. They may be asking for gas cooking (though inductive cooktops are a reasonable alternative), but no consumer said "Give me a stove that leaks natural gas into my house every time I use it (and even when I don't)".
