    Thankyou for that info. I knew it was leaky, but I didn’t realise that pipeline materials were so incompatible.

      @WaterWaiver @ajsadauskas Even if the pipelines were not, as a software engineer I don’t get how you get past the incompatible end user appliances in domestic and industrial sectors.

      You can get to that 5%, and an ongoing 5% drop is a little helpful, but how do you swap every single gas appliance?

      How do you ensure that every single appliance on a network branch is compatible at scale?

      You can not do a flag day, surely, but how do you change a stove from one jet to another at the right time?

        You’re focusing only on (1) consumer usage and (2) fixed pipelines. There is a bigger variety of gas infrastructure than that.
