Yes, I know it’s not technically just methane, but methane is its primary constituent.

“Fossil gas” is also probably a suitable term, but I like “fossil methane” because it gets that spooky chemical name benefit.

    That’s why I specified fossil methane, the stuff we’re getting out of the ground to burn in power plants. I’m all for burning non-fossil methane (e.g., from compost piles) for reducing the impact of those.
